UNSPSC 85494431, Replacement of left pulmonary vein with zooplastic tissue, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a highly specific surgical procedure performed in an acute-care hospital setting; recent state and local solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care coordination networks, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve pulmonary vein replacement or bioengineered tissue procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being purchased indicates either miscoding in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or use of the code as a placeholder for broader occupational and administrative health services categories that do not align with the Commodity's clinical definition.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health and human services entities (Harris County, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), city government (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose district boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board, Phoenix Police Pension Board). Recent solicitations concentrate in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity spanning occupational health compliance, benefit administration, and provider network services rather than surgical procedures. The most recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefits carve-out program RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). Pursuit under this code does not align with the clinical scope that the Commodity code nominally represents.
