UNSPSC 85491039: Replacement of thoracic aorta with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 02RW07Z

UNSPSC 85491039 Replacement of thoracic aorta with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code — independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — span administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and occupational medicine rather than thoracic aortic replacement surgery. No recent state and local opportunities show procurement of thoracic aortic surgical services or related clinical supplies and equipment aligned with the code's nominal scope.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. The issuing bodies across the six opportunities include city pension boards and retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county government benefits administration office (Collier County) — a diverse mix of health-system operators and government benefits administrators rather than surgical centers or providers performing thoracic procedures. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Because the opportunities are administratively and functionally unrelated to the code's stated clinical scope, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for thoracic aortic surgery services in state and local government.
