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

UNSPSC 85511144 Supplement superior mesenteric artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — are healthcare administration, management, and staffing contracts unrelated to vascular surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. The code's nominal scope (surgical supplementation of the superior mesenteric artery) does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry, suggesting either a persistent miscategorization in state procurement systems or a code assignment error that has become embedded across multiple jurisdictions.

State and local buyers — including Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; Muscogee County, Georgia; San Mateo County, California; and the City of Santa Monica, California — are posting healthcare service delivery and management contracts under this code, not procurement of vascular implants or surgical supplies. No recent solicitations for vascular medical devices, surgical instruments, or hospital procurement of arterial grafts appear in the available opportunities block. Until the code assignment issue is corrected upstream in state procurement systems, vendors in vascular surgery supply, implantable devices, or hospital procurement support should treat this code as inactive for state and local business development purposes and monitor alternative UNSPSC classifications for authentic medical device and surgical supply opportunities.
