UNSPSC 85491207: Bypass thoracic aorta to right 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 right 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 021W0KQ

UNSPSC 85491207 Bypass thoracic aorta to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for transportation workers, specialty surgical benefit management for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit administration for county health consortiums, temporary health professional staffing for county health systems, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve thoracic aortic bypass procedures or cardiovascular implants. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than a meaningful category for actual contracting activity.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with opportunities due between September and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at 14 ferry locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no genuine commodity concentration and warrants re-tagging by jurisdictions to align with actual service delivery lines—occupational health, benefits administration, or health staffing—rather than pursuit under its current cardiovascular-surgery designation.
