UNSPSC 85491217 Bypass thoracic aorta to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefits administration, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's technical surgical scope and the administrative and clinical staffing services actually being solicited suggests the code is either misapplied to procurement records or inactive for its intended purpose.

The issuing bodies posting against this code are county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county procurement offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). Recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with responses due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes.
