This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right atrium 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 02164KQ

UNSPSC 85493763 Bypass right atrium to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually purchasing under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code are independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty emergency medical care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the specific cardiac surgical procedure named in the code itself. The code shows a mismatch between its UNSPSC taxonomy definition and current state and local procurement activity.

The issuing bodies soliciting against this code span multiple local and state jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of pension boards), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services with contract execution and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a two-year term and evaluation due October 9, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual procurements, this code warrants close monitoring to clarify whether the tagging error is systematic or case-specific before committing resources to pursuit.
