This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from lower artery, external approach.

UNSPSC 85514912 (Removal of radioactive element from lower artery, external approach), a Commodity code, does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a clinical medical procedure—interventional radiology for radioactive material removal—yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code solicit occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations address administrative health-services procurement and workforce health management, not the invasive vascular procedure the code nominally describes. State and local buyers have tagged opportunities under this code that bear no substantive relationship to its stated scope.

The geographic jurisdictions issuing under this code include Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management under its Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026. Given the consistent mismatch between the code's medical procedure description and the health administration and staffing services actually being purchased, this code exhibits little relevant procurement signal for vendors pursuing contract work aligned with the code's intended scope.
