UNSPSC 85493732: Bypass right ventricle to right 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 right 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 021K4KQ

UNSPSC 85493732 Bypass right ventricle to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The UNSPSC code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for cardiac implants, devices, or surgical procurement. Instead, state and local buyers have tagged opportunities under this code that cover independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which align with the code's stated scope. This suggests either a systematic miscoding in procurement systems or that the code is being applied to broader healthcare administrative or staffing services for which it is not an appropriate classification.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employers (City of Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county commissioners (Collier County), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), and regional health systems. Geographic activity appears across California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington State, with no concentration in a single region. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year maximum of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's proposal for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing implant, device, or procedural service contracts.
