UNSPSC 85493265: Bypass right atrium to left pulmonary artery with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right atrium to left pulmonary artery with synthetic substitute, 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 02160JR

UNSPSC 85493265 Bypass right atrium to left pulmonary artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities solicit the specific cardiac bypass procedure the code names, and none require procurement of the implantable device or surgical supplies that code would typically represent. The mismatch indicates either a classification error in the state and local notices or a divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement practice under this taxonomy.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunity block include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting the broad jurisdictional mix typical of state and local health-related spending. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without evidence that the code genuinely captures procurement activity aligned with its cardiac-procedure definition, the summary suggests evaluating whether opportunities are being mislabeled or whether this code warrants monitoring under a revised understanding of what state and local governments actually buy under it.
