UNSPSC 85491213: Bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk with synthetic 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 021W0JP

UNSPSC 85491213 Bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it show little alignment with the code's clinical procedure scope. The sourced solicitations span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency inpatient care — none of which describe thoracic aortic bypass implantation or cardiac device procurement. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems; recent opportunities do not reflect the narrow surgical-implant scope the UNSPSC designation implies.

The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement office (Phoenix), and a city health system (Long Beach), reflecting fragmented procurement across health insurance, occupational health, pension administration, and clinical staffing functions. Recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services to support public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026). No recent opportunities directly procure cardiac surgical procedures or implants; the code shows no relevant current activity for firms pursuing state and local business in medical device or surgical services.
