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

UNSPSC 85493211 Bypass left ventricle to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity; the code nominally describes a specific cardiothoracic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve the implantation of tissue substitutes or the specific bypass procedure named in the code.

The recent opportunities under this code originate from a diverse mix of issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance for ferries), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth). Geographic activity spans Washington, Florida, California, Arizona, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services posted August 25, 2026, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026 (evaluating cost at 40 percent and non-cost capability factors at 60 percent); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services posted September 16, 2026, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services posted August 20, 2026, with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026 and an estimated annual pharmacy spend of $8.7 million. The code shows substantial mismatch between its surgical-procedure nominal scope and the health-services-administration and medical-staffing work actually being procured; business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities.
