This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass coronary artery, three sites from coronary 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 02120A3

UNSPSC 85491423 Bypass coronary artery, three sites from coronary artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a highly specific cardiac surgical procedure—and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's recent opportunities focus instead on occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention medical care. None of these solicitations directly procure or reference the specific three-site coronary artery bypass procedure named in the code. State and local governments posting under this code are city retirement offices, county boards of commissioners, state transportation departments, and county health systems, but the work they are actually buying does not match the cardiac procedure taxonomy.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational surveillance RFP), Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability evaluation RFP), California (City of Long Beach surgical carve-out RFP and County of Santa Clara health professional staffing RFQ), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty medical services RFI). The code exhibits no concentrated activity pattern and no repeat buyers in the recent opportunities block. Because the code's nominal scope—coronary artery bypass surgery procurement—does not appear in any of these solicitations, the code does not support a clear buying pattern for the stated procedure. Practitioners should verify whether this code is being misapplied in state and local systems or whether the code's taxonomy definition misaligns with actual procurement practice in the jurisdictions posting under it.
