UNSPSC 85491028: Supplement pulmonary trunk with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement pulmonary trunk 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 02UP0KZ

UNSPSC 85491028 Supplement pulmonary trunk with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows significant misalignment between its nominal scope—a specific cardiac surgical procedure—and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities in this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and related health administrative services. None of these solicitations involve cardiac surgical implantation or tissue-substitute procedures. The issuing bodies are municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), cities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice and health systems (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and independent health systems. State and local governments use this code to tag health care procurement far more broadly than the code's clinical title suggests.

The recent activity spans multiple states including Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no geographic concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability determinations for approximately 75 annual applications with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 WSF locations requiring board-certified occupational physicians; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence for its Anthem PPO plan covering approximately 3,800 employees and retirees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories. The code's current tagging appears to reflect a vendor classification or administrative categorization within procurement systems rather than accurate commodity alignment, making this code unreliable for identifying true procedural surgical work at the state and local level.
