UNSPSC 85493224: Bypass right ventricle to right pulmonary artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right ventricle to right pulmonary artery, 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 021K0ZQ

UNSPSC 85493224 Bypass right ventricle to right pulmonary artery, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with the surgical procedure named in the code itself. The opportunities instead reflect health insurance administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and disability medical evaluation services — none of which correspond to cardiac surgical procedures or any surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited under it is substantial and consistent across all six recent opportunities. State and local procurement offices appear to be applying this code to a broad range of health-plan administration and medical services contracting rather than to the specific cardiac bypass procedure the code describes.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health plans (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), county government (Collier County, Harris County), and state transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year ceiling and October 16, 2026 proposal deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with an October 9, 2026 due date and pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 proposal deadline. Given the consistent divergence between the code designation and the work being purchased, this code warrants re-examination in your procurement database.
