UNSPSC 85494527 Bypass superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery with autologous venous tissue, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific cardiac surgical procedure. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical procedure procurement; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension-disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and emergency medical care coordination. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its procedural name and actual procurement activity, which centers on medical administration, workforce evaluation, and benefits management rather than the implantation of cardiac devices or tissues.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, county human resources divisions, city pension boards, and municipal procurement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The most recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (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 through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the Santa Clara County Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope diverges fundamentally from the work actually being solicited, pursuit decisions should rely on the concrete activity in these recent opportunities rather than the code name itself.
