UNSPSC 85494436: Replacement of right pulmonary vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right pulmonary vein with autologous 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 02RS07Z

UNSPSC 85494436, Replacement of right pulmonary vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not appear to match the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure performed at the patient level, but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency healthcare for detained youth — none of which involve pulmonary vein replacement or tissue grafting. State and local procurement systems occasionally misalign taxonomy codes with solicitation content, and this code shows that pattern clearly. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a fundamental category misclassification rather than active state and local demand for the surgical procedure itself.

No representative recent opportunities actually address the nominal scope of UNSPSC 85494436. The six opportunities in the source are genuine state and local healthcare solicitations (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County), but each targets administrative, staffing, or managed-care services rather than the tissue-graft cardiac surgery the code describes. Given this disconnect, the code does not present a clear business development vector for vendors offering or supporting this specific surgical procedure to state and local buyers. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracts should verify code assignments in RFP and RFQ notices against the actual work scope before deciding to pursue.
