UNSPSC 85503720 Removal of synthetic substitute from upper artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity bears no meaningful relationship to its clinical procedure name. The code does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency inpatient services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular or arterial procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local opportunities database or that this code has been applied as a catch-all for medical services without specificity. No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block are purchasing removal of synthetic vascular substitutes or related interventional vascular products or services.

The issuing bodies across the unrelated opportunities include a state department of transportation (Washington), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), plus a county health consortium (Collier County). Geographic activity appears scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington with no concentration. Given the absence of procurement activity aligned to the code's nominal scope, this code does not currently represent a viable business development target in state and local markets. Practitioners should verify the code assignment in any future opportunity before pursuing.
