UNSPSC 85493249 Bypass left atrium to left pulmonary artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the nominal surgical procedure scope — the tagged solicitations instead cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurements involve the specific cardiac surgical procedure named in the code.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not appear in current opportunity postings. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the broader medical services being solicited suggests either tagging error or that the code is not actively used by state and local purchasing offices for routine commodity acquisition. Business development professionals should verify whether cardiac surgical procedure codes are actively referenced by the customer agencies before pursuing opportunities under this code tier.
