UNSPSC 85491210: Bypass thoracic aorta to subclavian with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to subclavian with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 021W0KB

UNSPSC 85491210 Bypass thoracic aorta to subclavian with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities show no alignment with this classification—the code appears to be a mismatch for state and local government procurement activity in the public record. The solicitations tagged under this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services involve thoracic aorta bypass grafting or implantable devices; the tagging appears to reflect a data classification error rather than genuine activity under the stated code.

Because the code does not reflect actual procurement scope, geographic spread and issuing-body patterns cannot be meaningfully drawn from this data set. The recent opportunities themselves span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with contract vehicles ranging from RFPs for medical evaluation and PBM services to RFIs and staffing pools. Buyers include county health systems, municipal pension boards, state transportation agencies, and county corrections—a broad institutional base—but these opportunities do not indicate procurement interest in the thoracic aorta procedure specified by the code. Firms evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their target services before pursuing state and local opportunities.
