UNSPSC 85491027 Supplement right pulmonary artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to tag surgical procedure coding rather than goods or services state and local governments actively procure. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect no actual demand for pulmonary artery supplementation or related surgical implants; instead, they describe medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a specific surgical intervention using autologous tissue. This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the solicitation metadata or a fundamental gap between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are tagging health-sector procurements.

The opportunities posted under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies: municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), a county benefits coordinator (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity scattered across multiple jurisdictions. The most relevant recent examples are the Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026, managing 75 annual disability determinations for $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, covering examinations across 14 ferry terminals). Neither solicitation involves surgical procedure supplies or implants. The code shows little relevant recent activity for procurement professionals seeking to pursue contracts aligned with its nominal scope.
