This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right ventricle to abdominal 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 021K0ZF

UNSPSC 85493226 Bypass right ventricle to abdominal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that names a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve cardiovascular bypass surgery or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured: independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, health plan surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and inpatient care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve bypass procedures, vascular surgery supplies, or the operative infrastructure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are diverse—a city retirement office, municipal health departments, a state transportation agency, a county juvenile probation department, county commissioners, and a county health system—reflecting no concentration in any single jurisdiction type or agency mission.

The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Washington State, and Texas, with no state appearing more than once among the six recent opportunities. The most concrete recent solicitation is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001), due October 16, 2026, seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825) is due October 9, 2026 and includes a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Because the posted opportunities under this code do not align with bypass surgery procurement, state and local entities using this code appear to be applying it incorrectly or the classification system has not updated to reflect actual buying patterns. The code itself shows no meaningful activity in its stated scope.
