UNSPSC 85505063 Occlusion of left ulnar artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's clinical taxonomy—describing a specific vascular surgical procedure—does not map to actual purchasing patterns in the available recent opportunities.

The recent solicitations posted under this code reflect a material mismatch. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach is soliciting surgical carve-out benefits management for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical care in a detention setting; Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve the procurement of vascular surgical procedure services, endoscopic equipment, or related clinical consumables that the code's name describes. The code appears to have been misapplied to these solicitations, suggesting either administrative data entry error or a categorical misalignment at the source. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for practical business development purposes pending clarification of its correct application.
