UNSPSC 85541724 Supplement thoracic duct with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows limited relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—supplementing the thoracic duct with nonautologous tissue via open surgery—but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of this service or related surgical supplies. Instead, the five most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management and administration (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support for peer workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations involve thoracic duct supplementation, nonautologous tissue grafting, or surgical supplies directly aligned with the code's stated scope.

The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed across Florida, Georgia, and California, and include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County, San Mateo County) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). The geographic spread spans Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), and California (San Mateo County, Santa Monica), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than an active procurement category for the services actually being bought under its tag—the recent solicitations reflect general health services administration, behavioral health support, and EMS medical direction, not the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Practitioners evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope of work in each RFP before pursuing, as the code's designation does not reliably predict the work being solicited.
