UNSPSC 85494425: Replacement of superior vena cava with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of superior vena cava 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 02RV0KZ

UNSPSC 85494425 Replacement of superior vena cava with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical and administrative services state and local governments are actually soliciting under this category. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve superior vena cava replacement or cardiovascular surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured diverge substantially, suggesting a potential data-taxonomy alignment issue in how opportunities are being tagged at the issuing-body level.

Activity under this code spans state departments, county health systems, county pension boards, and municipalities. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for Washington State Ferries workers due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical center-of-excellence benefits for municipal employees due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing qualified-vendor pool due October 7, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, and Texas. Without clearer alignment between the code's defined scope and the opportunities actually being solicited, this code may be a lower-priority pursuit vehicle — vendors should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before committing proposal resources.
