UNSPSC 85493751: Bypass left atrium to pulmonary trunk with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left atrium to pulmonary trunk with synthetic 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 02174JP

UNSPSC 85493751 Bypass left atrium to pulmonary trunk with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure typically associated with hospital billing and clinical care operations, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it concern independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement unrelated to the specific cardiac intervention the code describes.

The recent opportunities originate from city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach, Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single state dominating the sample. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal locations (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). These are materially distinct work streams that do not correspond to the cardiac procedure the code nominally represents.
