UNSPSC 85494438 Repair left pulmonary vein, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical repair procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — do not involve pulmonary vein repair or cardiothoracic surgery. State and local governments do not appear to solicit surgical procedures as standalone commodities; instead, they procure comprehensive healthcare services, behavioral health support, and EMS medical oversight through broader healthcare management contracts. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of work being bought suggests this code is either misapplied to these opportunities or rarely used in state and local procurement.

The geographic spread of activity spans Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica), but the concentration reflects healthcare service delivery rather than surgical repair procurement. Recent opportunities include Muscogee County's inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support pilot RFP (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director RFP (due October 16, 2025). No opportunities posted under this code actually procure cardiothoracic surgery or pulmonary vein repair services. A business development professional evaluating this code for healthcare contracting should treat the tagging as a data quality issue and focus on broader healthcare service families instead.
