UNSPSC 85515353 Supplement right popliteal artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular graft placement — yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no relevant procurement activity. The six recent opportunities on file span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefits carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities solicit the supply, implantation, or procurement of vascular grafts or surgical devices. The code appears to have been applied to these medical-services and staffing solicitations in error, and this Commodity code shows no actual state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.

Without relevant recent opportunities in the source, no geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or representative solicitation detail can be meaningfully characterized under this code. Vendors pursuing state and local procurement in vascular surgery supplies, orthopedic implants, or related surgical devices should not rely on this code's recent-opportunity history as an indicator of buying activity and should verify code alignment in RFP and RFQ notices before pursuing opportunities.
