UNSPSC 85492159: Bypass coronary artery, three sites from left internal mammary with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass coronary artery, three sites from left internal mammary with autologous venous tissue, 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 212499

UNSPSC 85492159 Bypass coronary artery, three sites from left internal mammary with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code solicit independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical procedure carve-out benefits for government employee health plans—none of which involve coronary artery bypass surgery or related surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being bought suggests a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged by the issuing bodies.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple state and local entities including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county purchasing offices (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. Given the categorical mismatch, business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this code.
