UNSPSC 85493216 Bypass left ventricle to left pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a highly specialized cardiovascular surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of this specific surgical intervention. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, specialty surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which directly correspond to the code's nominal surgical scope. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the source data or a classification artifact; the code appears to show little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated definition.

The recent opportunities do reflect solicitation activity from diverse state and local issuing bodies, including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical carve-out benefit programs, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the divergence between the code's surgical definition and the actual opportunities surfaced, prospects should verify coding accuracy before pursuing work under this Commodity code.
