UNSPSC 85502983 Release right external carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal relevance to actual purchasing activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with its clinical procedure nomenclature and instead span healthcare services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations concern the specific vascular intervention procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies represent a geographically dispersed mix of county governments and local health authorities: Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California). Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million; and Monroe County's RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific procedure it nominally describes; procurement activity appears mislabeled at the commodity level.
