UNSPSC 85494411: Supplement superior vena cava with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement superior vena cava with synthetic 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 02UV0JZ

UNSPSC 85494411 Supplement superior vena cava with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for implanting a synthetic vena cava substitute, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care services, peer mental health support, and emergency medical services medical direction — none of which involve vascular surgical devices or procedures. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting this specific surgical implant or related vascular reconstruction supplies under this code at present.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the opportunities it has captured suggests either a cataloging error in the underlying procurement systems or that the code is being used as a placeholder for a broader healthcare services category. No recent RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs for vascular surgical implants, superior vena cava grafts, or synthetic vascular substitutes appear in the source material. Organizations pursuing work in surgical device supply, vascular surgery implants, or OR equipment should verify their UNSPSC classification independently rather than rely on this code's recent activity to guide opportunity capture or business development focus.
