UNSPSC 85493236 Bypass right ventricle to pulmonary trunk with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the procedure named in the code. State and local issuing bodies appear to be using this code as a catch-all for healthcare services contracting rather than as a descriptor of actual cardiac bypass work.

The recent opportunities show activity from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program, proposals due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, approximately $8.7 million historical annual spending, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, proposals due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code shows no apparent match between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, opportunities under this code warrant verification against actual need before pursuit.
