UNSPSC 85494437: Repair superior vena cava, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair superior vena cava, 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 02QV0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494437 Repair superior vena cava, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to capture surgical repair procedures for superior vena cava conditions, yet the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not match the surgical scope. The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity for vascular surgical repair. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect comprehensive healthcare management contracts—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platform services, peer support worker programs, and fire department medical director oversight—none of which align with superior vena cava surgical repair. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities or a significant divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual buyer intent.

The recent opportunities span multiple state and local jurisdictions: Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) seeking inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison through RFP No. 26-0008 with a May 15, 2026 response date; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with an April 9, 2026 deadline; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) requesting virtual primary and urgent care services through RFP 628 due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California) procuring peer support services for peer workers through RFP 2025-007; and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) recruiting a fire department medical director through RFP 455. Given the absence of vascular surgical procurement and the preponderance of healthcare administrative and clinical support services under this code, firms pursuing UNSPSC 85494437 should verify the correct code classification before committing business development resources.
