UNSPSC 85493263 Bypass right atrium to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that scope. The actual solicitations span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific cardiac bypass procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source records or a jurisdiction's use of this code as a catch-all for health services procurement outside the code's intended application. State and local buyers tagging work under this code include county retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and municipal employee benefit programs.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit assessments for public safety personnel with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) providing baseline and periodic examinations across fourteen ferry locations; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows active procurement activity but lacks meaningful categorical coherence; business development teams should verify actual procurement intent with issuing bodies rather than relying on this code's nominal scope.
