UNSPSC 85492062 Bypass thoracic aorta to subclavian with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contracting activity posted under this code does not reflect actual procurement of that clinical service. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation and record review, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and inpatient hospital services for detained youth — none of which align with the procedure named in the code's abstract definition. The issuing bodies are primarily county health systems, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and municipal retirement offices. This code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being bought by state and local entities right now.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications; $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical carve-out benefit and Centers of Excellence program for Anthem Blue Cross enrollees (due October 7, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending (proposals due April 9, 2026 — superseded; this entry appears to be retroactively tagged), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical staffing categories excluding nursing and physicians (due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for hospital and specialty medical providers serving detained youth (due September 25, 2026). Activity clusters in California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a standout repeat buyer across the block.
