UNSPSC 85494518: Bypass superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous 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 021V0KQ

UNSPSC 85494518 Bypass superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no relationship to cardiac surgery or vascular bypass procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or use of this code as a catch-all default for health services unrelated to its stated scope. No opportunities directly soliciting cardiac surgical services, implantable devices, or vascular bypass procedures appear in the recent record.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose districts (Phoenix pension boards, Santa Clara Health System). The opportunities are geographically distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, reflecting broad state and local health services procurement rather than concentration in a single region or jurisdiction type. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal definition and the work actually being tagged, this code does not serve as a reliable indicator for cardiac surgical procurement and warrants verification before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
