UNSPSC 85493717: Bypass left ventricle to right 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 right 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 021L4AQ

UNSPSC 85493717 Bypass left ventricle to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—a cardiac bypass technique using autologous arterial tissue—yet the six recent opportunities in the source material reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the specific procedural code named in the UNSPSC category. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the posting system or that this code sees minimal relevant state and local procurement activity.

State and local procurement agencies posting under this code should expect no actionable opportunities for firms offering the specific surgical technique named. The code appears to reflect a healthcare taxonomy assignment—possibly a medical billing or clinical classification database cross-reference—rather than an active state or local contracting category. Firms pursuing state and local health procurement should monitor related codes covering broader medical equipment, surgical supplies, or healthcare service delivery networks rather than procedure-specific surgical technique codes.
