UNSPSC 85491204 Bypass thoracic aorta to carotid, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—do not reflect procurement of surgical cardiovascular implants or devices. The code appears to have been misapplied to these health services solicitations, and state and local governments are not actively buying this specific surgical procedure or implant under this classification.

No representative state and local opportunities for bypass thoracic aorta to carotid devices or services are present in the source material. The recent activity in the data covers operational healthcare contracting (medical staffing, pharmacy administration, virtual care platforms, and mental health support) rather than surgical implant procurement. Firms pursuing this UNSPSC code should verify whether state and local health systems, hospital authorities, or procurement consortia are actually using it to solicit cardiovascular implants or related surgical supplies, as the tagged opportunities suggest the code is not currently in active use for its intended commodity class.
