UNSPSC 85503274 Replacement of left temporal artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular reconstruction, yet the recent opportunities posted against it bear no connection to that scope—they instead cover independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve temporal artery replacement or the surgical technique the code names.

The misalignment between the code's clinical definition and the work actually being bought under it signals that this code is not a reliable descriptor of state and local contracting activity. Firms evaluating pursuit under UNSPSC 85503274 should verify the accuracy of the code assignment in any opportunity posted against it and consider whether the actual scope of work maps to their service lines. The code itself does not reflect active state and local procurement.
