UNSPSC 85503603 Revision of synthetic substitute in upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on vascular prosthetics—does not align with the state and local opportunities posted against it. Recent solicitations tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve arterial surgery or implant revision. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the issuing systems or that state and local procurement offices are using the code as a catch-all for health services procurement without regard to the code's clinical specificity.

The opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach)—across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Geographic activity is dispersed with no clear concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering examinations at 14 ferry system locations; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (258414, due April 9, 2026) managing approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spend. Bidders should verify that opportunities posted under this code actually match their service lines before investing in pursuit.
