UNSPSC 85513436 Supplement middle colic artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's descriptor references a specific surgical procedure — endoscopic arterial supplementation using autologous tissue — yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve the arterial procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, but the work being bought bears no relationship to vascular surgery or percutaneous endoscopic arterial intervention.

The geographic spread across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida reflects the multistate dispersion of health care administration and occupational medicine contracting, but this geographic scatter does not signal genuine market demand for the code's stated commodity. The code appears to have been applied to health care procurement notices as a categorical convenience rather than as a match to the actual services being solicited. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid on August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical carve-out benefit program under its Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). The code shows little relevant activity for vendors pursuing vascular surgical services and should be treated as a categorization artifact rather than a valid market signal.
