UNSPSC 85491424 Bypass coronary artery, three sites from aorta with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code — including independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — represent administrative and clinical support services rather than the procedure itself. No solicitation directly addresses procurement of coronary artery bypass surgery or related inpatient operative services.

The mismatch between the code's narrow procedure descriptor and the broad administrative-services activity tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a catchall for health services. State and local issuers posting under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), state agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), and municipal HR departments (Long Beach, Collier County). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Without a clear alignment between the code's name and actual procurement scope, vendors should verify code applicability with each issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85491424.
