UNSPSC 85491052: Repair thoracic aorta, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair thoracic aorta, 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 02QW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85491052 Repair thoracic aorta, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to state and local government purchasing activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve thoracic aortic repair or surgical procedures. State and local procurement offices do not typically use UNSPSC medical procedure codes to classify healthcare service contracts; the mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical definition and how jurisdictions actually solicit healthcare administration and delivery work.

The code shows no relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracts. Issuers across Georgia, Florida, and California that posted opportunities in the first half of 2026 used broader healthcare-services classifications to describe comprehensive inmate medical programs, managed pharmacy administration, virtual care platforms, and behavioral health support — not surgical repair procedures. Firms working in state and local healthcare procurement should monitor codes that cover administrative, clinical management, and delivery services rather than this procedure-specific commodity code, which appears to serve a different classification purpose outside typical state and local procurement workflows.
