UNSPSC 85513817, Drainage of inferior mesenteric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve that clinical service. Instead, the code shows recent activity centered on occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension and disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefits for employee health plans, temporary clinical staffing services, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The work being solicited spans occupational health examinations aligned with state regulatory requirements, disability medical record review and physician coordination, Centers of Excellence network management for surgical procedures, temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties, and broader healthcare administrative services. Issuing bodies include state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation's ferry division), county government entities (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and specialized government health systems.

Recent opportunities show activity across multiple western and southern states: Washington State (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations), Arizona (independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations), California (surgical carve-out benefits and temporary clinical staffing), Florida (pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (emergency medical services for juvenile detention). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, covering four personnel categories across ferry system locations with cost-based evaluation; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052, a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary clinical staffing due October 7, 2026. The code exhibits a mismatch between its nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) and actual state and local procurement activity, which centers on occupational health management, benefits administration, and clinical staffing services rather than the named clinical intervention.
