UNSPSC 85505040 Repair right axillary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code's medical procedure classification does not match the actual work state and local jurisdictions are soliciting under this code designation.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code are healthcare and human services contracts bearing no relationship to vascular surgical repair: inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve percutaneous endoscopic arterial repair or related vascular interventions. The code appears to have been applied in error to healthcare procurement activities that fall under different UNSPSC families and commodities. State and local governments are not currently purchasing the service named in the code through posted RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs. This code presents no clear procurement opportunity for vendors in the vascular repair or interventional medical device space.
