UNSPSC 85493264 Bypass right atrium to pulmonary trunk with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, but state and local governments rarely procure surgical procedures themselves as line-item services. The recent opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to the nominal scope: the activity captured consists of medical management and staffing services—occupational surveillance, independent disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans—none of which involve procurement of bypass grafting or cardiac surgical intervention as a product or deliverable. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in state and local procurement systems, applied to broader healthcare administration and employee benefit contracting rather than to the specific surgical procedure its name describes.

State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county benefits administrators (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employers (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Activity is concentrated in the Southwest and West—Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington—with no geographic concentration evident. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool arrangement). Bidders should verify code accuracy before pursuing opportunities listed here; systematic miscoding may limit the relevance of future solicitations under this commodity designation.
