This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement inferior mesenteric artery with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85511126 Supplement inferior mesenteric artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect this medical-device or surgical-technique scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code reflect health professional staffing, medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and employee health plan administration — administrative and occupational health services rather than surgical supplies or implantable devices.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include county governments (Collier County in Florida; Harris County in Texas; Santa Clara County in California), city governments (Phoenix and Long Beach, California), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering ferry workers across 14 locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, ITB format); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension boards (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical-procedure carve-out benefits and Centers of Excellence networks for city employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually). Geographic spread includes Washington, California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical-procedure definition; the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the health-administration services actually being solicited suggests this code may be incorrectly applied by procurement offices or represents a data-tagging anomaly rather than a reliable indicator of state and local buying patterns for supplemental artery procedures or vascular surgical supplies.
