UNSPSC 85494435: Replacement of right pulmonary vein with zooplastic tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right pulmonary vein 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 02RS08Z

UNSPSC 85494435 Replacement of right pulmonary vein with zooplastic tissue, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure involving tissue replacement — bears no relation to the state and local contract activity currently being tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve pulmonary vein replacement or zooplastic tissue implantation. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span county governments, city procurement offices, state departments, and county health systems — including the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity includes Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFQ vehicle (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual buying activity suggests a taxonomic classification error in the underlying procurement data rather than genuine market demand for the procedure itself.
