UNSPSC 85491206: Bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 021W0KR

UNSPSC 85491206 Bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which align with the procurement of this particular surgical intervention or its associated materials and supplies. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the source data or that state and local jurisdictions are not actively procuring this specific procedure code through competitive solicitation.

The recent opportunities actually visible in the data span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health examinations, pharmacy administration, and temporary clinical staffing across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by city retirement offices, county health systems, and state transportation agencies. However, these solicitations do not track to the stated UNSPSC code's scope. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and instead track the health services codes under which these jurisdictions are actually buying — occupational medicine, benefits administration, and temporary staffing services fall under different UNSPSC families and commodities.
