UNSPSC 85491025 Supplement right pulmonary artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a critical mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the actual state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve pulmonary artery procedures or surgical implants; instead, they reflect health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, and specialty surgery carve-out benefits. State and local procurement offices are using this code to classify administrative health-services contracts rather than surgical or device procurement. The work being solicited includes medical record review and disability evaluations for public-safety pension boards; occupational health examinations for transportation workers; PBM services covering claims processing, formulary management, and specialty pharmacy networks; temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties; emergency and inpatient care coordination for detained youth; and Centers of Excellence networks for elective procedures. Issuing bodies include county and city health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of Commissioners, City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county pension boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and city retirement offices.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications (response deadline October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals and shipyard locations (due October 9, 2026, with cost-based scoring at 40 percent weight and selection anticipated by November 30, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence (proposals due October 7, 2026, contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027); and Collier County Board of Commissioners' RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (deadline April 9, 2026, three-year term effective January 1, 2026). The code shows no alignment with cardiovascular surgical implants and does not reflect meaningful procurement activity in its stated commodity scope.
