UNSPSC 85492063 Bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under it by state and local buyers. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific cardiovascular surgical procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all or default category for health-related services procurement rather than as a precise descriptor of the work being bought.

The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) offering $750,000 over five years, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System proposal call for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's mismatch with current procurement activity signals either systematic miscoding within state and local systems or intentional use of a specific CPT/ICD procedural code as a default filing location for health service categories that lack dedicated UNSPSC homes.
