UNSPSC 85493232: Bypass right ventricle to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right ventricle to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 021K0KQ

UNSPSC 85493232 Bypass right ventricle to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that names a specific cardiac surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to cardiac surgery or implantable medical devices. The code shows no relevant procurement activity.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP due October 16, 2026), surgical benefit carve-out program management for a municipal health plan (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP due October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management for a county health consortium (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP due April 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involve cardiac surgery, implants, or the specific procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the administrative, staffing, and benefit-management work actually being bought suggests either a systematic tagging error by the posting authorities or the code's use as a placeholder in a database taxonomy that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this designation. For firms evaluating whether to pursue opportunities in this code, the recent activity provides no decision-relevant signal about cardiac device or surgical procedure procurement.
