UNSPSC 85494523 Bypass superior vena cava to left pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, yet recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under this code does not reflect surgical implant services or procedure-specific supplies. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employees (City of Long Beach), county transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county health care consortiums (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). The scope of work being solicited is administrative medical services, benefits management, and staffing augmentation rather than cardiovascular surgical procedures or implantable devices.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 maximum compensation over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code assignment appears misaligned with the actual procurements being tagged—this code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific cardiovascular procedure it nominally describes.
