UNSPSC 85503007 "Occlusion of left temporal artery, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this designation in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve medical benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which are vascular intervention procedures. The code appears to be applied as a categorical mis-tag rather than as a genuine procurement of the specific vascular service the code nominates.

State and local issuers posting under this code in the past ninety days include city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for its municipal health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County requested Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering approximately 7,200 members with an estimated $8.7 million annual spend (RFP 25-8414, historically due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across thirteen service categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical support (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity spanning municipal, county, and state health and benefits administration. The code shows no genuine recent procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope of vascular surgery.
