UNSPSC 85491045 Replacement of right pulmonary artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity bears no clear relationship to its nominal surgical procedure description. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve pulmonary artery replacement; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows a pattern of mislabeling rather than a coherent procurement category. State and local issuing bodies using this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county boards of commissioners, and county probation departments — a fragmented buyer base with no repeat customers across the recent opportunities.

Geographic activity spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance), California (County of Santa Clara Health System, City of Long Beach), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation (due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties. The code's continued use for procurement outside its stated scope suggests either persistent data entry error or drift in how state and local systems classify health services. Pursue only if your firm operates in one of the specific service areas named in recent opportunities and can verify the issuing body's intent independent of the code assignment.
