UNSPSC 85491219: Bypass thoracic aorta to carotid with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to carotid with autologous arterial tissue, 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 021W0AD

UNSPSC 85491219 Bypass thoracic aorta to carotid with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities in the source—independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing but do not involve cardiac bypass surgical procedures or autologous arterial tissue grafting. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the tagged solicitations address healthcare program management, benefits administration, and workforce deployment rather than procurable surgical products or supplies.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of healthcare service procurement activity currently associated with it suggests either persistent mis-tagging in the source database or a taxonomy alignment issue. State and local governments issuing under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Without evidence of actual surgical procedure procurement or implantable device sourcing under this Commodity code, the practical opportunity pipeline for vendors supplying cardiac bypass grafts or related surgical products to state and local buyers cannot be characterized from this source.
