UNSPSC 85491215: Bypass thoracic aorta to subclavian with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to subclavian with synthetic 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 021W0JB

UNSPSC 85491215 Bypass thoracic aorta to subclavian with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that exhibits little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification instead address occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit network management, pharmacy benefit administration, health professional temporary staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involves procurement of thoracic aorta bypass procedures or related surgical implants or devices. The issuing bodies span diverse jurisdiction types: a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California).

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no meaningful concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple clinical specialties, due October 7, 2026. The code as currently applied appears to misalign substantially with its stated commodity definition, suggesting either systematic miscoding in recent procurement activity or a significant mismatch between the taxonomy and actual buying practice in this category.
