UNSPSC 85492055: Bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk, 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 021W4ZP

UNSPSC 85492055 Bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent opportunities show little relevant activity: the five most recent records span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management services, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve the procedural cardiovascular intervention named in the code. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities incorrectly or to have used this code as a catch-all for health services contracting without regard to its narrow surgical-procedure definition.

No state and local governments are currently soliciting for the bypass thoracic aorta procedure or related cardiovascular surgical services under this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual posted opportunities suggests either persistent data quality issues in state and local UNSPSC tagging or misclassification at the source. Firms evaluating this code for business development should treat it as inactive for procurement purposes and seek alternative codes related to healthcare services, medical equipment supply, or hospital facilities management if targeting state and local health system contracting.
