UNSPSC 85491106 Dilation of thoracic aorta with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recently posted opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve thoracic aortic procedures, cardiovascular devices, or surgical interventions related to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch between the code's clinical designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the posting systems or use of this Commodity code as a catch-all for health services procurement without regard to specificity.

The opportunities themselves, while unrelated to the code's stated purpose, originate from diverse state and local issuing bodies: the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) for correctional healthcare, Collier County and Monroe County (Florida) for employee health plan services, San Mateo County (California) for behavioral health innovation pilots, and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) for EMS medical direction. Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California, though the geographic concentration reflects opportunistic posting rather than genuine demand under this code. No state or local government appears to be actively procuring thoracic aortic dilation devices or related cardiovascular surgical services under UNSPSC 85491106 based on available recent solicitation records.
