UNSPSC 85502823 Bypass left common carotid artery to left extracranial artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to state and local procurement activity supported by recent opportunities. The code is a highly specific surgical procedure descriptor used in healthcare billing and clinical coding systems, not a service or product category that state and local governments typically procure through competitive solicitation. The six recent opportunities in the source span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care center of excellence networks, and emergency/specialty care services for detained youth — none of which corresponds to this specific surgical procedure code.

State and local healthcare procurement activity does occur in medical services categories (occupational health surveillance through Washington State Department of Transportation, disability medical evaluations through the City of Phoenix, temporary clinical staffing through Santa Clara County Health System, and pharmacy benefit management through Collier County), but these opportunities are soliciting administrative, staffing, or benefit management services rather than specific surgical procedures. This code should not be pursued under the assumption that it flags state and local contract opportunities; the tagging appears to be a data classification error rather than a signal of active procurement demand.
