UNSPSC 85493738: Bypass right 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 right 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 021K4AQ

UNSPSC 85493738, Bypass right ventricle to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or a drift in how this code is being applied at the state and local level.

The opportunities do reveal genuine state and local medical-services procurement across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). However, these represent discretionary health plan administration, staffing, and clinical services contracting rather than the surgical procedure named in the Commodity code. The code shows little activity currently relevant to contractors specializing in the specific surgical intervention it describes. Unless the source material reflects a systematic misclassification in a particular procurement system, firms pursuing UNSPSC 85493738 should verify code alignment with issuing bodies before investing in proposal development.
