UNSPSC 85493716: Bypass left ventricle to left pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left ventricle to left pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 021L4AR

UNSPSC 85493716, Bypass left ventricle to left pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not align with how public-sector jurisdictions actually procure goods and services. The code describes a highly specific cardiac surgical procedure; recent opportunities tagged under this code instead show state and local governments soliciting occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summarization, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either tagging error by issuing bodies or taxonomy misclassification; the code does not capture meaningful state and local procurement activity in its stated scope.

The recent solicitations under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). None of these opportunities involve procurement of the cardiac procedure itself. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but this dispersal does not reflect genuine category activity — it reflects jurisdictions misclassifying health services administration and staffing requests. A business development professional evaluating this code should recognize that the taxonomy categorization does not support coherent opportunity pursuit under its stated name and should investigate whether a different UNSPSC family better captures the health services administration and staffing work actually appearing in these solicitations.
