UNSPSC 85504001 Replacement of left hand artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular surgery or tissue grafting. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal surgical scope and the administrative, staffing, and managed-care services state and local governments are actually buying and tagging with this designation.

The issuing bodies are geographically and organizationally diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 response deadline and $750,000 maximum contract value over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code demonstrates little relevant recent activity in its stated clinical domain and appears to be receiving improper classification in state and local procurement systems.
