UNSPSC 85491019: Supplement thoracic aorta with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement thoracic aorta with autologous 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 02UW07Z

UNSPSC 85491019 Supplement thoracic aorta with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under or tagged with this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve thoracic aortic surgical procedures or autologous tissue grafting. The code's nominal scope (a specific cardiac surgical intervention) does not align with the healthcare procurement actually occurring in state and local markets under this classification.

State and local procurement offices across Florida, Georgia, and California are actively soliciting healthcare services through this code, but the opportunities represent general medical administration, pharmacy management, and behavioral health support rather than specialized cardiac surgery. The mismatch suggests either data quality issues in how state and local systems tag opportunities, or that this code has been repurposed to capture broader healthcare contracting when more granular surgical-procedure codes are unavailable in a jurisdiction's taxonomy. For firms targeting actual thoracic aortic surgical services or tissue-substitute procurement in state and local healthcare settings, this code presents minimal signal; the activity visible under it does not support business development in that specialty.
