This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right brachial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85504023 Replacement of right brachial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominal taxonomy misaligns sharply with recent state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve vascular surgery, implants, or surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans. The code shows no recent solicitations for the specific procedure it names — brachial artery replacement. State and local governments are using this code to tag diverse health services procurement that falls outside surgical implant or operative domains entirely.

Activity across the tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgery benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP for pharmacy benefit management services), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries RFP for occupational medical surveillance services, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), and Florida. Issuing bodies include county and city government health and human services departments, public sector health systems, and pension and retirement administrations. The code carries little decision-relevant activity for firms pursuing state and local procurement under its nominal scope; misclassification rather than active procurement demand appears to drive these tags.
