UNSPSC 85494526: Bypass superior vena cava to left pulmonary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass superior vena cava to left pulmonary artery with autologous venous 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 021V09R

UNSPSC 85494526 Bypass superior vena cava to left pulmonary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach (Commodity) shows no recent state and local government procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code is a surgical procedure specification typical of healthcare billing and clinical taxonomy systems; state and local solicitations posted under this code do not reflect cardiovascular surgical services or procedural interventions. Recent opportunities tagged with this code encompass disability retirement medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs and Centers of Excellence networks, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — none of which align with the specific surgical procedure the code names. This mismatch suggests the code may have been misapplied during tagging or that the procurement database treats clinical taxonomy codes as catch-all classifications for health services work more broadly.

The jurisdictions posting opportunities under this code include Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners) — spanning state departments, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and special-purpose health authorities. Recent notice types include RFP (Phoenix, Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara), RFI (Harris County), and ITB (Washington State Department of Transportation). Response dates cluster in September through early October 2026. Given the pervasive gap between the code's surgical specificity and the administrative or occupational health services actually being solicited, this code is not actionable for firms positioned in cardiovascular surgery or vascular intervention; the tagging appears to be a data-quality issue rather than a signal of genuine market demand under the code's stated scope.
