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

UNSPSC 85493217 Bypass left ventricle to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving cardiac reconstruction, yet the most recent solicitations posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which map to the specific cardiac surgical procedure the code names. The tagging of these opportunities under this Commodity code appears to reflect a classification error in the state and local procurement systems posting them rather than genuine procurement activity for the surgical procedure itself.

No state and local contract opportunities for the cardiac surgical procedure named in UNSPSC 85493217 appear in recent postings. The opportunities posted under the code span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas jurisdictions issuing through city retirement offices, municipal health benefits divisions, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, county health systems, and special health care consortia — but their actual scope does not align with the code's nominal product or service line.
