This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement thoracic aorta with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 02UW0KZ

UNSPSC 85491016, Supplement thoracic aorta with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity), shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—a Request for Proposals for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government, due May 15, 2026)—involves comprehensive correctional healthcare administration, sick call services, chronic disease management, formulary oversight, and dental care, not cardiothoracic surgical implants. The remaining opportunities in the dataset (pharmacy benefit management services for Collier County; virtual primary and urgent care for Monroe County; peer support services for San Mateo County; and a fire department medical director role for Santa Monica) are similarly misaligned with the code's implant designation and do not reflect actual procurement under this taxonomy classification.

State and local healthcare purchasing does not appear to use this UNSPSC code for actual solicitations. The code may be applied administratively by some jurisdictions in clinical or supply-chain systems but does not correspond to active competitive procurements in the state and local market during the current cycle. Pursuit under this code warrants verification against actual RFP language and issuing-body procurement records before investment in bid preparation.
