UNSPSC 85503944 Supplement left ulnar artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a material mismatch between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and the recent state and local contract activity actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve vascular surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. These are administrative health services, staffing, and benefits-management functions rather than operative surgical interventions. The code appears to have been misapplied to opportunities in the state and local procurement system.

The opportunities posted under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems. The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking physician-supervised examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability pension determinations covering approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026) managing roughly $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) establishing a multi-category vendor pool. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated vascular surgical scope.
