UNSPSC 85493731: Bypass right ventricle to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right ventricle to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue 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 021K4KR

UNSPSC 85493731, a Commodity code nominally titled "Bypass right ventricle to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach," shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with that surgical procedure specification. The recent opportunities posted under this code instead span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical benefit network curation—none of which involve the specific cardiac bypass procedure named in the code taxonomy. This mismatch signals that the code either has been misapplied to these procurement records or no longer captures the intended commodity scope in active state and local buying patterns.

Recent activity appears concentrated in health-system and municipal employee-benefit administration rather than surgical device or procedure procurement. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) requiring physician board-certification in occupational medicine across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested surgical benefit network carve-out administration for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing qualified-vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Collier County also issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spend (due April 9, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, county human resources and retirement offices, municipal health systems, and county probation agencies across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, but the code's nominal scope does not align with the actual procurement subjects being transacted.
