UNSPSC 85493231, Bypass right ventricle to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve cardiac surgical implants or procedures; instead they reflect a range of health services procurement — occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out network management — none of which fall within the code's stated clinical scope. State and local purchasing offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a default classification for health services contracting rather than for the specific cardiac implant procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include a state department of transportation, county health systems and county commissioners' procurement offices, and municipal retirement boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's procurement for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026 (RFP, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026 (RFP, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's request for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026 (RFP); and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services procurement, due April 9, 2026 (RFP, estimated historical spend $8.7 million annually). The code shows no clear relevance to its stated clinical scope and warrants verification against actual commodity classifications in your target markets.
