This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass coronary artery, one site from thoracic artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach.

UNSPSC 85491626 Bypass coronary artery, one site from thoracic artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations retrieved under this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve no procurement of coronary bypass procedures or cardiac surgical services. State and local governments do not appear to be purchasing coronary bypass procedures as discrete line-item procurements through conventional solicitation channels; the code shows little relevant recent activity in the state and local marketplace.

The mismatch between the code's procedural specification and the actual opportunities tagged to it suggests either a data classification error in the underlying procurement system or that the code has been applied inconsistently by issuing bodies. Firms evaluating this code should verify the accuracy of any opportunity tagged to UNSPSC 85491626 before investing in pursuit. The recent activity block does not support a meaningful market characterization under the code's nominal scope.
