UNSPSC 85491048 Replacement of pulmonary trunk with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical procedure networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve pulmonary trunk replacement or related cardiothoracic surgical procedures. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification from a clinical taxonomy rather than a procurement category, and state and local issuing bodies are using it to tag healthcare administration and staffing services that fall outside its nominal surgical scope.

Recent opportunities show activity across multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), county governments (Harris County, Collier County), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). The Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for disability medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the most directly medical-service-focused recent opportunities. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant purchasing activity and should not be pursued based on the nominal commodity description.
