UNSPSC 85515518 Insertion of infusion device into left femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve the specific clinical procedure named in the code's title. Instead, the opportunities solicited medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve insertion of infusion devices into femoral arteries. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry misaligned with actual state and local government purchasing patterns, which typically acquire medical services through benefit administration, network contracting, and staffing arrangements rather than through procurement codes for discrete surgical interventions.

State and local issuers posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county commissioners offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas based on the recent notices. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026). None of these solicitations address the specific procedural code named; the code mismatch suggests either a cataloging error or a narrowly specialized procurement domain that does not surface in routine state and local contract activity.
