UNSPSC 85511447 Extirpation of matter from right internal iliac artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a surgical procedure; however, state and local recent procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect surgical intervention on vascular anatomy. The most recent solicitations filed under this code instead capture independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical procedure carve-out programs for public employee and retiree benefit populations. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic mis-tagging of medical benefits administration, occupational health, and staffing services, or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services beyond its stated definition. Issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). No single jurisdiction appears more than once in the recent activity block, indicating a dispersed buying pattern across local and state health systems and benefit administration offices.

Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and scheduling for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications over a five-year term with maximum compensation of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations performed by board-certified occupational physicians under a two-year contract with optional extension; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. No state and local procurement activity under this code reflects the surgical procedure its code definition names.
