UNSPSC 85493255 Bypass left atrium to left pulmonary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously by issuing bodies, rendering it an unreliable procurement signal for firms pursuing actual cardiovascular surgical contracting.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are diverse: municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county health systems (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and regional health authorities. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response date of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with a two-year initial term and response date of October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with a response date of October 7, 2026.
