UNSPSC 85494514 Bypass superior vena cava to left pulmonary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity present in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure; however, the six recent solicitations tagged under it encompass independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve bypass surgery or surgical procedures of any kind. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that the code is being used as a catch-all for miscellaneous medical services outside its stated definition.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the absence of meaningful alignment between the code's procedural definition and the services actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing medical device, surgical equipment, or surgical procedure supply contracts. Vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with individual issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
