This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from coronary artery, three sites, open approach.

UNSPSC 85491088 Extirpation of matter from coronary artery, three sites, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it are for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve coronary artery extirpation or procedural codes that align with the UNSPSC description. The mismatch suggests a classification or tagging error rather than genuine demand for this surgical service line under state and local procurement.

State and local governments rarely solicit for specific surgical procedures through RFP, RFQ, or IFB vehicles; they typically contract for occupational health programs, medical staffing, benefit management, or emergency and specialty care networks. The recent opportunities under this code reflect that actual buyer behavior, but they do not map to the code's nominal scope. Monitor the code for correction or reclassification by the issuing jurisdictions, and focus prospecting effort elsewhere unless your firm specifically provides occupational medicine, medical evaluations for disability determinations, or government health benefit management — in which case the jurisdictions shown (Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Phoenix, Harris County, City of Long Beach, and County of Santa Clara) may warrant direct outreach independent of this UNSPSC categorization.
