This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right atrium to left pulmonary artery with autologous venous 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 021649R

UNSPSC 85493771 Bypass right atrium to left pulmonary artery with autologous venous tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that procedure itself. Instead, the opportunities solicited show no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The most recent postings include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), and pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County). None of these opportunities involves procurement or contracting for the cardiac surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The misalignment suggests either a tagging or classification error in the state and local procurement system, or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader healthcare-related solicitations without direct relevance to the specific procedure named.

State and local governments show no recent activity under this Commodity code for the procedure it nominally describes. The opportunities that have been tagged with this code reflect general healthcare service contracting—employee benefit administration, occupational health programs, and medical evaluation services—rather than procurement of or contracting for the specific cardiac surgical intervention. Buyers pursuing opportunities in this code as currently posted should recognize the material divergence between the code name and actual work being solicited.
