UNSPSC 85494803: Bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk, percutaneous endoscopic 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 021V4ZP

UNSPSC 85494803 Bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans. State and local governments are not procuring this specific procedure; they are instead soliciting healthcare services, medical administration, and staffing support. The mismatch between the code's technical clinical descriptor and the actual scope of work solicited suggests either a data-classification error or significant drift in how this code is being applied in procurement systems.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and specialized county offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation). Geographic spread spans Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026 for $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing vehicle due October 7, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification, the code shows little relevant activity for a vendor seeking genuine cardiac procedure procurement opportunities.
