UNSPSC 85491201: Bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery, open 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 021W0ZR

UNSPSC 85491201 Bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities appearing in the source. The code describes a highly specialized surgical procedure, yet the four recent solicitations posted between February and April 2026 span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve thoracic aortic bypass procedures or the implantation and surgical planning codes that would sit nearby in the cardiovascular-procedure taxonomy. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying opportunity records or that this code does not currently generate relevant state and local procurement activity.

No recent state and local solicitations tied to thoracic aortic bypass services appear in the source material. State and local public bodies do purchase healthcare services through RFPs and cooperative agreements, but cardiac surgery and implant procurement at this specificity level typically flows through hospital systems' internal supply chains, group purchasing organizations, or regional health authorities rather than through open competitive solicitations tagged to discrete surgical-procedure codes. Firms evaluating this code should verify the classification against actual procurement records for the relevant state or region before committing business development resources.
