UNSPSC 85491529: Bypass coronary artery, two sites from coronary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass coronary artery, two sites from coronary artery with autologous venous 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 211093

UNSPSC 85491529 Bypass coronary artery, two sites from coronary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to have minimal direct application to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect a much broader health services landscape: independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state transportation employees, emergency and specialty care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve coronary artery bypass procedures as a deliverable or procurable service line. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in how opportunities were tagged or a systematic misalignment between the code's procedure-specific intent and how state and local procurement systems categorize medical service contracting.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—but none directly procure coronary bypass services. State and local governments appear not to source this code for the procedure it nominally describes; instead, they use it (or it is misapplied) to tag broader medical administration, staffing, and benefit management work. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.
