UNSPSC 85491209 Bypass thoracic aorta to carotid with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent opportunities posted under this classification represent occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty procedure carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve thoracic aortic bypass procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data tagging error or that state and local governments are not actively soliciting this specific procedure code through competitive procurement channels.

The geographic spread of opportunities tagged to this code spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentrated activity in any single jurisdiction or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414). The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope and warrants review for potential reclassification or vendor inquiry before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
