UNSPSC 85503610 Restriction of upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities show little activity aligned with this clinical code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, focused on medical record review and scheduling comprehensive independent medical and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual disability applications. The City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program offering pre- and post-care for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, is seeking occupational medical surveillance services including baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for four personnel categories across 14 Washington locations. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and specialty healthcare services for detained youth. These solicitations reflect administrative, occupational health, and benefit management services rather than the specific vascular surgery procedure the code nominally describes.

Activity under this code spans state departments, county governments, and city agencies, with no standout repeat buyers in the recent record. Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, and Harris County represent the geographic spread of recent activity, spanning Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix RFP (RTMRFP26001) with a proposal deadline of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years represents the most concrete opportunity; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) with proposals due October 7, 2026 targets surgical benefit program administration; the Washington State Ferries RFP (RFP20260825) with proposals due October 9, 2026 seeks occupational medical surveillance; and Harris County's RFI (071626BNM) with responses due September 25, 2026 is exploratory in nature. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited suggests this code may not accurately reflect state and local buying activity in this category.
