UNSPSC 85492053: Bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic 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 021W4ZR

UNSPSC 85492053 Bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, does not reflect the actual work being solicited under this tag. The recent postings associated with this code cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare delivery for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve thoracic aortic bypass procedures or percutaneous endoscopic surgical techniques. The opportunities instead reflect administrative and operational healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing support across municipal retirement systems, city employee benefit programs, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county human resources departments, and county health systems. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or a significant divergence between the code's clinical definition and its actual use as a procurement classification tag.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), reflecting multi-state solicitation across diverse local government sectors. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-pool RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity tagged under it, this code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors whose core business aligns with percutaneous endoscopic thoracic aortic procedures.
