UNSPSC 85493715: Bypass left ventricle to pulmonary trunk with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left ventricle to pulmonary trunk with synthetic substitute, 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 021L4JP

UNSPSC 85493715 Bypass left ventricle to pulmonary trunk with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a highly specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve the procedure named in the code itself. State and local purchasing offices appear to have misclassified these health care and benefits-administration solicitations under a clinical procedure code rather than administrative or staffing codes. The mismatch indicates either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a fundamental disconnect between the code's intended use and current application in state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by city retirement boards, county health systems, county commissioners, and state transportation departments. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's establishment of a temporary health professional staffing qualified-vendor pool (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). None of these solicitations procure cardiac procedures or implantable devices. Bidders in this code should treat the published opportunities with caution: the code classification does not reliably signal relevant procurement intent, and these health care administration and staffing opportunities would be better tracked under alternative UNSPSC codes aligned with their actual scope.
