UNSPSC 85491216, Bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal clinical scope; instead, the solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code does not reflect what state and local governments are actually procuring in these recent notices.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). No meaningful pattern emerges that would support pursuit under this code's stated procedure classification; the mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work being solicited suggests either categorization error on the part of the issuing bodies or that this code sees little relevant state and local contracting activity.
