This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass coronary artery, two sites from thoracic artery with synthetic substitute, 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 02114JC

UNSPSC 85492176 Bypass coronary artery, two sites from thoracic artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. State and local governments are not soliciting for coronary artery bypass surgery itself under this code. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader health services procurement — medical surveillance, occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluations for retirement and benefit determinations. The issuing bodies are county government human resources and health departments, municipal retirement offices, and county health systems. The work being solicited spans occupational medicine compliance, disability benefit medical record review and physician coordination, specialty procedure networks through Centers of Excellence, and staffing for ancillary clinical roles. The code designation does not reflect the actual commodity or service being purchased, suggesting either a data-quality issue in how opportunities are tagged or a fundamental mismatch between the eight-digit taxonomy and the services solicited.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026 (RFP); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for pension board disability determinations, due October 16, 2026 (RFP with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract); the City of Long Beach requested a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026 (RFP); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System opened a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Collier County also posted a pharmacy benefit management RFP earlier in the year. The geographic spread includes California, Texas, Florida, Washington, and Arizona. Given the code's nominal scope and the nature of recent solicitations, this code shows little substantive relevance to surgical procedure procurement and warrants review for proper taxonomy alignment.
