UNSPSC 85502700: Principal arteries head and neck, open approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal arteries of the head and neck with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 03.

UNSPSC 85502700 Principal arteries head and neck, open approach-part C is a Class code under which state and local governments solicit healthcare services for correctional facilities, county employee and retiree health plans, virtual primary care platforms, and behavioral health support programs. The recent solicitations show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope — a clinical procedure involving vascular surgery on cervical arteries — and the actual work being procured: the opportunities describe comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual urgent care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of the recent postings reference the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include county corrections authorities, county benefits procurement offices, county health departments, and municipal fire departments across different states.

Recent opportunities posted in 2026 span Florida, Georgia, and California. The Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia) issued RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026, for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services with proposals due May 15, 2026, covering sick call, chronic care, emergency referrals, pharmacy management, and dental services for approximately 576 inmates; the current contract is valued at approximately $95,537.71 monthly. Collier County, Florida issued RFP 25-8414 on April 9, 2026, for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents with annual historical spending near $8.7 million. Monroe County, Florida issued an RFP on March 14, 2026, for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members with an effective date of October 1, 2026. San Mateo County, California issued RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services for behavioral health workers with total project funding of $580,000. The code shows fragmented activity across different healthcare service lines with no clear alignment to the vascular surgery nomenclature.
