UNSPSC 85493214 Bypass left ventricle to right pulmonary artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with that procedural specification. The handful of recent solicitations capture a broader healthcare services landscape—occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence networks for employee health plans—none of which map directly to the named cardiac bypass procedure. The issuing bodies span a mix of state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and a special-purpose juvenile justice authority. Most recent solicitations do not appear to be tagged to this code in error; rather, the code itself appears misaligned with the actual work being procured under it, suggesting either historical misconfiguration or administrative misclassification across multiple issuing jurisdictions.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no single state or jurisdiction showing concentrated recent volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services for public safety pension determinations (due October 16, 2026 with maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach HR26753 surgical benefit and center-of-excellence carve-out for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees (due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant activity that directly addresses the stated cardiac surgical procedure, making it difficult to assess whether procurement under this classification represents genuine market opportunity or systematic tagging misalignment.
