UNSPSC 85491322: Bypass coronary artery, four or more sites from right internal mammary with autologous arterial tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass coronary artery, four or more sites from right internal mammary 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 02130A8

UNSPSC 85491322 Bypass coronary artery, four or more sites from right internal mammary with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations reference the specific cardiac surgical procedure named in the code.

The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to health services procurement that falls outside its nominal scope. State and local buyers posting under this code—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—are soliciting administrative medical services, benefit program management, occupational health compliance, and workforce staffing rather than the specialized cardiac surgery or related facility services the code nominally describes. No recent state and local procurement activity directly targets bypass coronary artery procedures or similar surgical services under this code.
