UNSPSC 85502835 Bypass right common carotid artery to right extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this designation. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit management for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing services, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the specific cardiovascular surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch indicates that either the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or that the classification system does not serve these procurement activities accurately. State and local buyers posting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners' offices, and county juvenile probation departments.

The most recent opportunities show activity across multiple states and regions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach (California) issued an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System (California) sought temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code's recent application to state and local procurement activity does not support reliable market characterization.
