This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of middle colic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85511235 Replacement of middle colic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—replacement of a middle colic artery using nonautologous tissue in an open surgical approach—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, state and local buyers are using this code to solicit medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which involves vascular surgical repair or tissue substitution.

The six opportunities in the block span three states: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluation services RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach, surgical benefit carve-out RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026, and County of Santa Clara Health System, temporary health professional staffing pool RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, occupational medical surveillance RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, pharmacy benefit management services RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity indicates either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a taxonomy alignment issue within this particular code tier. Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify scope and issuing-body intent before committing bid resources.
