UNSPSC 85493706: Bypass left ventricle to thoracic artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left ventricle to thoracic artery, percutaneous endoscopic 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 021L4ZC

UNSPSC 85493706 Bypass left ventricle to thoracic artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows negligible alignment between its nominal scope—a highly specific cardiac surgical procedure—and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, county employee pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support mental health services, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve or reference the cardiac bypass procedure named in the code; the code appears to have been applied as a default categorization for healthcare-related opportunities rather than as a genuine match to the underlying work being purchased. State and local governments are not buying cardiac surgical procedures under this code in any identifiable way.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities includes Georgia (Muscogee County Prison, Columbus Consolidated Government), Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department). Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (due April 16, 2026). This code does not represent a viable procurement category for vendors offering the surgical procedure it nominally describes; the tagging mismatch suggests vendors should verify code alignment independently before pursuing opportunities marked with UNSPSC 85493706.
