UNSPSC 85502628 Occlusion of right temporal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code show no connection to vascular or surgical intervention. Instead, the recent record reflects a mismatch between the code assignment and the work being bought—the solicitations involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgery benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these services or products relate to arterial occlusion procedures. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating broad-based municipal and county health and benefits administration rather than surgical procurement. No clear pattern of relevant activity exists under this code designation.

Given the substantial mismatch between the code's clinical procedure scope and the actual procurement activity tagged to it, this code shows little actionable recent activity for vendors focused on vascular or arterial surgical services. The opportunities posted under this code between July and October 2026 reflect benefits administration, occupational health services, staffing, and employee health plan management rather than medical devices, supplies, or surgical procedures. Business development teams should verify coding alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code, as the classification appears to be in error rather than reflective of genuine demand in the underlying commodity area.
