UNSPSC 85491050: Replacement of pulmonary trunk with zooplastic tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pulmonary trunk with zooplastic tissue, 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 02RP08Z

UNSPSC 85491050 Replacement of pulmonary trunk with zooplastic tissue, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—surgical replacement of a specific cardiac vessel using animal-derived tissue—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code shows no recent procurement activity for the actual procedure it names. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational and disability medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve cardiac surgery or zooplastic grafting. This tagging mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or a miscalibration of the code assignment at the source. The code does not represent a meaningful procurement opportunity category for state and local governments based on the available evidence.

Issuers posting opportunities under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP 20260825), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with a historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414). Activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the disconnect between the code's procedural name and the work actually being solicited, pursuit of opportunities under this code should await clarification from the relevant procurement office on the intended scope and correct code assignment.
