UNSPSC 85494501: Dilation of superior vena cava, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of 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 027V0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494501 Dilation of superior vena cava, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect surgical services or vascular interventions. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director oversight — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of superior vena cava dilation. The mismatch suggests the code is being applied inconsistently or incorrectly in state and local procurement systems, and prospective vendors should not rely on this taxonomy to identify relevant healthcare purchasing activity.

The issuing bodies include county corrections departments (Muscogee County Prison via Columbus Consolidated Government), county human resources and health benefits divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County Health, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department). Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica), with recent solicitations posted between February and April 2026. Representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026) with a current monthly service cost of $95,537.71, Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management serving 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members with contract effective October 1, 2026. No meaningful purchasing signal exists under this code; consider reclassification of state and local health procurement into appropriate UNSPSC families before pursuing opportunities in this category.
