UNSPSC 85491222 Bypass thoracic aorta to right pulmonary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical care networks — none of which represent the specific cardiac surgical procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for diverse healthcare services procurement rather than for the specific bypass procedure itself. The opportunities that do appear are indexed to state departments, counties, and municipal health systems seeking to manage or coordinate medical services for employees, retirees, and dependents, or for detainees and transit workers.

State and local activity under this code shows geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction accounting for multiple recent opportunities.
