UNSPSC 85491716 Supplement thoracic aorta with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with thoracic aorta repair. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These activities fall into occupational health screening, benefits administration, and workforce health services rather than specialized cardiothoracic surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach). The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent opportunities suggests this code carries limited relevance to state and local procurement of actual thoracic aorta repair supplies or services. Recent representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026, with maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (proposals due April 9, 2026, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million), and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work). The code shows no recent activity related to surgical implants, prosthetics, or cardiothoracic procedures at the state and local level.
