UNSPSC 85493213: Bypass left ventricle to left pulmonary artery with synthetic 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 synthetic 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 021L0JR

UNSPSC 85493213 Bypass left ventricle to left pulmonary artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recently posted opportunities under this code—spanning Phoenix's disability medical evaluation services, Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program, Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance, Harris County's youth detention healthcare services, Collier County's pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing—do not involve the cardiac surgical procedure the code nominally describes. These solicitations address medical evaluation administration, benefit plan management, occupational health screening, detention facility healthcare, pharmacy services, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which align with the implantation of a synthetic bypass graft from the left ventricle to the left pulmonary artery.

State and local procurement offices do not routinely solicit for specific cardiac surgical procedures as standalone commodities; such procedures are typically embedded within broader healthcare service contracts, capitated delivery agreements, or hospital-based surgical programs. The code's presence in state and local posting systems appears to reflect a data-classification mismatch rather than active procurement demand. Vendors offering bypass graft implantation or cardiac surgical devices should monitor whether this code begins to surface in RFPs from large health systems, regional medical authorities, or county healthcare consortia, but the current activity stream does not support pursuit under this specific classification.
