UNSPSC 85503957, Supplement left axillary artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure using clinical terminology tied to anatomical intervention, yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve surgical tissue supplementation or the procedural scope the code nominates. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement datasets or that this Commodity code is not the active procurement tier for the work these jurisdictions are conducting.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal procurement bureaus (Long Beach, Collier County), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), and a county health system (Santa Clara), with no obvious repeat buyer or geographic concentration. The opportunities due in the near term include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31), and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026, with go-live targeted for April 2027). Given the absence of a coherent procurement category across these opportunities and the disconnect from the code's stated scope, pursuit under this Commodity code is not recommended without verification that current opportunities are actually being tagged to this code by the relevant state and local issuing bodies.
