UNSPSC 85494522: Bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk with synthetic 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 021V0JP

UNSPSC 85494522 Bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose title describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect no relevant procurement activity for that procedure. Instead, the code shows activity across disparate healthcare service categories—occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and general benefits administration—that have no connection to the code's stated scope. State and local procurement offices appear to have misapplied this code across unrelated healthcare contracting, rendering it unreliable as a signal for this specific surgical service line.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, $750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit program, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, RFQ due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the code's nominal scope bears no relationship to the work actually solicited under it, this code should not be relied upon to identify genuine procurement demand for the bypass procedure itself.
