UNSPSC 85492208: Bypass coronary artery, one site from thoracic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass coronary artery, one site from thoracic artery with nonautologous tissue 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 02104KC

UNSPSC 85492208 Bypass coronary artery, one site from thoracic artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which describe coronary artery bypass procedures or cardiac surgical implants. State and local governments do not procure specific surgical procedures or device implants through RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB vehicles; these services are either purchased through provider contracts, insurance networks, or group purchasing arrangements managed at the enterprise level.

The mismatch suggests this code was applied to health benefits or procurement administration solicitations rather than to the surgical procedure itself. No recent state and local contracting activity directly targets the commodity described in the code. Vendors pursuing work in occupational medicine, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, or temporary clinical staffing should track those service categories under their appropriate UNSPSC codes rather than this cardiac procedure code.
