UNSPSC 85491200: Arteries-chest heart lungs, open approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the arteries of the chest and heart and lungs, open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 02.

UNSPSC 85491200 Arteries-chest heart lungs, open approach-part C is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — surgical procedures on thoracic cardiovascular structures — does not match the work actually being solicited under this taxonomy code in the state and local market. Recent opportunities tagged with this code cover jail and prison medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director contracts — none of which involve the surgical procedures the code nominates.

The mismatch suggests that this code either captures a narrow or highly specialized set of procurements that state and local bodies do not regularly solicit, or that tagging errors have obscured the actual scope. The opportunities posted under this code between February and April 2026 span multiple issuing bodies (Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California, and the Santa Monica Fire Department in California) and multiple service lines unrelated to cardiac surgery. Without recent solicitations that actually correspond to thoracic cardiovascular procedures, the code shows no actionable procurement signal for vendors in that field.
