UNSPSC 85493238: Bypass right ventricle to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial tissue, 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 021K0AQ

UNSPSC 85493238, Bypass right ventricle to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with no meaningful alignment between the code's nominal surgical procedure scope and the actual work being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency care for detained youth — none of which involve the specific cardiac surgical procedure the code describes. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing procurement offices or that the code has been repurposed to flag broader healthcare services in a way that obscures rather than clarifies commodity classification.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county commissioners' procurement offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and a municipal personnel office (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities posted between late July and mid-September 2026 span Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with response dates clustering in September and early October 2026. The code shows no coherent procurement activity around its stated commodity definition; firms evaluating this code should treat it as either a data quality issue or flag it for clarification with individual issuing bodies rather than as a reliable signal of actual market demand for the surgical procedure named.
