This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass coronary artery, three sites from thoracic artery 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 02120AC

UNSPSC 85491420 Bypass coronary artery, three sites from thoracic artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — coronary artery bypass grafting with three anastomoses using autologous arterial tissue via open approach. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, however, are procuring occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, specialty surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these opportunities involve procurement of the coronary bypass surgery procedure itself or related surgical supplies, equipment, or professional services tied to that specific intervention.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), but the activities do not align with the code's definition. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a misapplication of the code to a broader medical services category. Practitioners evaluating this code for state and local opportunity pursuit should confirm with individual issuing bodies whether they intend to solicit cardiac surgery procedures, implants, or related supplies, as the current opportunity record does not support meaningful business development activity under the code's actual scope.
