This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement thoracic aorta with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 02UW3JZ

UNSPSC 85491717 Supplement thoracic aorta with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure for aortic grafting. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the nominal scope; instead, the postings tag unrelated healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction contracts. The code appears to have been applied erroneously to opportunities in personnel services, benefits administration, and clinical operations rather than implantable medical devices or surgical procedures. The mismatch is complete across all recent opportunities in the source.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated purpose. Issuing bodies across Georgia, Florida, and California have posted RFPs under this code for Muscogee County inmate medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government, due May 15, 2026), Collier County pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County peer support services (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department medical direction (due October 16, 2025), but none of these solicitations concern thoracic aortic supplementation or implantable devices. The code does not appear to be in active use for its intended commodity classification within state and local procurement.
