UNSPSC 85491214: Bypass thoracic aorta to carotid with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to carotid with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85491214 Bypass thoracic aorta to carotid with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The posted solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve thoracic aortic bypass surgery or implantable medical devices. This mismatch suggests that the code's classification in the recent opportunities may reflect administrative tagging rather than substantive procurement of the procedure itself.

The issuing bodies span a geographic mix including Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), representing city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation authorities, county health systems, and county procurement offices. Across these jurisdictions, the actual procurement focus centers on medical services administration — benefits consulting, occupational health management, specialty network curation, and staffing placement — rather than surgical implants or procedures. The source provides no recent opportunities that directly solicit thoracic aortic bypass grafts, surgical supplies, or device procurement aligned with the code's stated commodity definition.
