UNSPSC 85491600: Arteries-chest heart lungs, open approach-part G

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the arteries of the chest and heart and lungs, open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 02.

UNSPSC 85491600 Arteries-chest heart lungs, open approach-part G is a Class code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The posted solicitations focus on occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing placement, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, and emergency inpatient services for detained youth — none of which address the code's nominal scope of cardiovascular surgical procedures or anatomical interventions. State and local purchasing offices appear to have tagged these opportunities to the code incorrectly, and the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing cardiovascular surgery or related procedural services.

The mislabeled opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara), county correctional authorities (Harris County), and county procurement offices (Collier County). Geographic representation spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Without opportunities genuinely aligned to the code's substantive scope, the UNSPSC 85491600 category does not present a usable procurement signal for business development targeting state and local buyers of the products or services the code purports to classify.
