UNSPSC 85503052 Extirpation of matter from left temporal artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities sourced to this code span occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the arterial procedure the code names. State and local procurement offices appear to have misapplied this code across a range of health-service and medical-evaluation solicitations unrelated to its stated scope. The mismatch between code definition and actual buying activity suggests either data-entry error in the opportunities themselves or a systematic misalignment in how these jurisdictions have tagged their health-services procurements.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies spanning municipal pension systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), large cities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), and state agencies. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with response dates between late August and mid-October 2026. Because the code itself does not match the work being solicited, this summary carries limited decision value for vendor pursuit — the code does not reliably predict future procurement intent in any single commodity or service line.
