UNSPSC 85504208 Destruction of right brachial artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with any of the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The six most recent state and local postings tagged to this code instead solicit independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve destruction of a brachial artery or any comparable surgical intervention.

The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement needs suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source system or that this code is not a live procurement category in state and local government markets. Vendors or business development professionals reviewing this code should verify the underlying procurement records directly with the issuing bodies or query whether a different UNSPSC family—such as medical services, health insurance administration, or occupational health—better captures their service lines. Absent genuine opportunities aligned to the code's stated scope, pursuit activity under this classification is not warranted.
