UNSPSC 85492056: Bypass thoracic aorta to carotid, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to carotid, percutaneous endoscopic 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 021W4ZD

UNSPSC 85492056 Bypass thoracic aorta to carotid, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The four recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support for peer workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations seek the specific surgical procedure named in the code — a percutaneous endoscopic bypass of the thoracic aorta to carotid artery. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is being used by state and local procurement systems in a manner disconnected from its UNSPSC definition.

If the code is intended to capture broader cardiovascular or surgical services procurement, the current opportunities do not support that interpretation. The Columbus RFP (due May 15, 2026) and Collier County RFP (due April 9, 2026) center on comprehensive healthcare administration and pharmacy management for county operations, not surgical procedures or specialized vascular interventions. The Monroe County virtual care RFP (due April 16, 2026) and San Mateo County peer support RFP (due July 2, 2025) address primary care and mental health services, respectively. The Santa Monica Fire Department RFP (due October 16, 2025) seeks a physician medical director for EMS oversight. None represent procurement of the surgical procedure or related medical devices and supplies that would logically fall under this Commodity code. Without evidence of actual surgical procurement activity, this code does not present a viable business development opportunity at this time.
