UNSPSC 85494525: Bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk 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 pulmonary trunk 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 021V0AP

UNSPSC 85494525 Bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it reflect broad healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and health professional staffing services—none of which involve the specialized cardiovascular surgery the code names. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical specificity and its application in state and local purchasing systems.

State and local governments soliciting under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation authorities, and county human resources divisions. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a five-year term capped at $750,000, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the opportunities actually posted, prospecting under this code carries high classification risk; vendors should verify that opportunities are genuinely related to their service lines before submitting responses.
