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

UNSPSC 85493254 Bypass left atrium to pulmonary trunk with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The recent opportunities reflect medical evaluation, benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy management, and clinical staffing services—administrative and operational healthcare functions—rather than the cardiac surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to these opportunities in the state and local procurement systems.

The sourced opportunities show no relevant recent activity under this code's nominal scope. State and local governments do not solicit specific surgical procedures through RFPs or RFQs; those transactions occur through patient referrals and clinical care delivery channels outside procurement systems. Vendors evaluating this code should treat the mismatch as a signal to verify coding accuracy in RFPs and to focus business development on the administrative and clinical staffing categories—occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations, and temporary health professional staffing—where the actual state and local procurement activity occurs.
