UNSPSC 85511138, Supplement left colic artery with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—supplementing the left colic artery with synthetic material via open approach—that falls within clinical medicine and is not procured as a good or service by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code in the source include inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County), and a fire department medical director contract (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations involve procurement of left colic artery supplementation supplies, devices, or related surgical services; the code assignment appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error rather than a reflection of actual buying activity.

State and local governments do purchase healthcare services, medical supplies, and clinical oversight through RFPs and RFQs, but this specific UNSPSC code does not describe any category of goods or services currently being solicited in that market. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare, pharmaceutical, or EMS contracts should verify their UNSPSC codes before bid preparation, as misalignment between code and scope will create compliance and evaluation problems. This code warrants a skip unless the source data changes to reflect genuine surgical-procedure-supply or device procurement.
