UNSPSC 85515450 Release right femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no alignment with this anatomical code. The most-recent opportunities posted under this code span medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and occupational health examinations — none of which involve femoral artery release procedures. The mismatch suggests this code was applied incorrectly by the issuing bodies or serves as a placeholder in procurement systems that do not distinguish between surgical procedures and related health services contracting. State and local governments do not appear to purchase femoral artery release procedures through the standard procurement process; such procedures are typically delivered within institutional hospital or surgical center settings and billed through claims rather than competitive solicitation.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal human resources divisions (Long Beach), and county health benefits consortiums (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple specialties (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). This code presents as inactive for its stated surgical scope and should be deprioritized unless the underlying procurement records can be reclassified to match their actual service content.
