UNSPSC 85494524: Bypass superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial tissue, 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 021V0AQ

UNSPSC 85494524 Bypass superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the specific cardiovascular surgical procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how these opportunities were tagged or that the code is being applied to broader medical service categories rather than the discrete procedural intervention it denotes.

The recent-opportunity block shows activity across multiple issuing bodies — a state department of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county health systems and procurement offices (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County, Harris County), and municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix) — with geographic spread across Washington, California, Florida, Arizona, and Texas. No single jurisdiction appears as a standout repeat buyer under this code. The opportunities with identifiable response dates cluster in September through October 2026, including the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026; and the Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing-pool RFP due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of coding alignment between the UNSPSC definition and the actual procurement scope, this code shows little actionable signal for vendors pursuing state and local contracts in the named service categories.
