UNSPSC 85492069: Bypass thoracic aorta to right 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 right 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 021W4AQ

UNSPSC 85492069 (Bypass thoracic aorta to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, specialty hospital-based services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the specific thoracic aortic bypass procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests the code is being applied incorrectly by issuing agencies or that the underlying UNSPSC taxonomy classification is misaligned with state and local procurement practice.

The issuing bodies include county retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Harris County, Santa Clara County), county government human resources (Collier County), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County). Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with recent solicitation deadlines in October 2026 and one in April 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (total maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026. Given the categorical mismatch, this code appears to offer limited value for business development professionals targeting state and local medical device or procedure-specific contracting.
