UNSPSC 85492070: Bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk 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 pulmonary trunk 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 021W4AP

UNSPSC 85492070 Bypass thoracic aorta to pulmonary trunk with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity — the code describes a specific cardiothoracic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged under this code do not involve the procedure itself. Instead, state and local agencies are buying administrative and clinical support services: disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and youth detention medical services. These opportunities span municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county human services agencies, but none involve the thoracic aorta bypass procedure the code nominally describes.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted a five-year independent medical evaluation contract (RFP RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026) valued at $750,000 for disability assessments of public safety retirees; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive vendor pool solicitation for temporary clinical staffing across multiple ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a data-entry mismatch — the nominal scope of UNSPSC 85492070 does not correspond to the health services administration and staffing work currently being solicited under it in state and local procurement.
