UNSPSC 85492060: Bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 021W4KP

UNSPSC 85492060 Bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity present in the recent opportunities block. The code describes a highly specialized cardiac surgical procedure, yet the six most recent state and local solicitations tagged under it request independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out management, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging error or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for diverse healthcare service categories rather than reflecting procurement of this specific surgical intervention.

State and local buyers issuing under this code include municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city governments managing employee benefits (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no jurisdiction appearing in more than one opportunity. The source contains no evidence that state and local governments are actively procuring the bypass thoracic aorta procedure itself; treating the code as actionable for business development would require confirmation from the issuing jurisdictions that the tagging reflects actual procurement intent rather than administrative artifact.
