UNSPSC 85493210: Bypass left ventricle to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left ventricle to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 021L0KR

UNSPSC 85493210 Bypass left ventricle to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a highly specialized cardiothoracic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve the specific implantable procedure named in the code. The mismatch reflects a common state and local tagging inconsistency, where procurement offices may misclassify medical and healthcare services using anatomically specific UNSPSC codes without regard for the actual goods or services being purchased.

Issuing bodies in the recent block include a state transportation department, county health systems, county probation departments, county commissioners' offices, and city retirement systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The represented work is predominantly healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management rather than surgical procedures or implantable devices. No recent opportunities specifically solicit the left ventricular to pulmonary artery bypass device or related surgical supplies. For state and local buyers actively pursuing cardiothoracic implants, surgical instruments, or procedure-specific supplies, this code presents a classification problem rather than a procurement opportunity worth tracking under its stated definition.
