UNSPSC 85491020: Supplement left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 02UR0KZ

UNSPSC 85491020 Supplement left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—does not align with the state and local procurement activity appearing under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect medical and health professional services unrelated to cardiothoracic surgery: disability benefit evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. This classification mismatch suggests either a data tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies label health services solicitations. The code shows no relevant recent activity for actual pulmonary artery supplementation or similar tissue-substitute surgical procedures.

No state and local procurement opportunities targeting pulmonary artery surgical services, cardiac tissue substitutes, or related cardiothoracic surgical supplies appear in the recent-opportunities block. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the broad administrative and occupational health services recorded under it indicates this code is not a reliable procurement signal for cardiovascular surgical device or service vendors at this time.
