UNSPSC 85493246: Bypass left atrium to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left atrium to left 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 02170KR

UNSPSC 85493246, Bypass left atrium to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which involve cardiac surgical procedures or implantable devices. The mismatch suggests the code is either being misapplied by issuing bodies or the source material includes miscoded records. No solicitations in the block name procurement of the specific cardiac procedure the code describes.

The geographic spread covers Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, cities, counties, state transportation agencies, juvenile justice departments, and county health systems. Without recent opportunities properly aligned to the code's stated scope, the UNSPSC 85493246 designation does not support a reliable assessment of demand, issuing-body concentration, or procurement momentum in state and local markets.
