UNSPSC 85493233: Bypass right ventricle to pulmonary trunk 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 pulmonary trunk 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 021K0KP

UNSPSC 85493233 Bypass right ventricle to pulmonary trunk with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not represent procurement of the specific cardiac surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a defined cardiac surgery with specific implant material and approach) and the actual services being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between how this code is used in state and local taxonomy practice and what vendors actually deliver under it.

The opportunities do reflect active, substantive health care procurement by state departments, counties, and health systems—including the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medicine program across 14 ferry locations, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's emergency and specialty care services, Collier County's pharmacy benefit management covering 4,800 members, and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary ancillary clinical staffing pool—but none of these solicitations reference or require the cardiac surgical implant procedure itself. Business development professionals should treat this code as a signal that procedure-level UNSPSC coding may not reliably predict state and local health care contracting activity, and should conduct category-level and keyword-based market scans in parallel to identify relevant buying patterns in occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing.
