UNSPSC 85491022: Supplement left pulmonary artery with zooplastic tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left pulmonary artery with zooplastic tissue, 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 02UR08Z

UNSPSC 85491022 Supplement left pulmonary artery with zooplastic tissue, open approach is a Commodity-tier code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgery benefit carve-outs, pediatric emergency care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve cardiovascular surgical procedures or tissue supplementation. The code appears to describe a surgical intervention in the body-system-specific procedural taxonomy rather than a category capturing the health services and staffing work that state and local agencies are actually buying.

The recent opportunities posted under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Collier County, Harris County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), spanning Washington, California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. However, the mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the operational healthcare services being solicited suggests this code does not represent an active or appropriate procurement category for state and local buyers. No dedicated surgical-tissue-supplement solicitations appear in the recent opportunities block, and practitioners pursuing work in occupational health, benefits administration, medical staffing, or pharmacy management would benefit from code verification before investing in pursuit strategies under this category.
