UNSPSC 85511615 Destruction of superior mesenteric artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The UNSPSC taxonomy assigns this code a narrow surgical classification, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it diverge substantially from the code's nominal content, reflecting administrative mismatch rather than procurement demand for this specific surgical procedure.

The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety retirement boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve destruction of the superior mesenteric artery or relate to vascular surgical intervention. The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic representation spans Arizona, California, Texas, Washington, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026) with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 state ferry locations (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026). This code's tagging appears to reflect system classification error rather than genuine demand for vascular surgical services in state and local procurement.
