UNSPSC 85492068: Bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 with autologous arterial tissue, 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 021W4AR

UNSPSC 85492068 Bypass thoracic aorta to left pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The code's clinical specificity—describing a particular cardiac surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code, which instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. These solicitations represent administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing arrangements rather than the procurement of a defined surgical technique or related medical devices. The mismatch suggests either a coding inconsistency in the source data or that this UNSPSC code does not reflect active state and local procurement matching its nominal definition.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no clear pattern of repeat buyers in the recent record. Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Puget Sound ferry locations (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool covering temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The lack of procedural, device, or implant procurement under this code and the absence of opportunities matching its stated clinical scope suggests limited current relevance to vendors in cardiac surgery or related specialties.
