UNSPSC 85494804: Bypass superior vena cava to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 021V4KR

UNSPSC 85494804 Bypass superior vena cava to left pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgery benefits carve-outs, and emergency services for detained youth — involve administrative health services, staffing, and benefits management rather than the specific cardiovascular surgical procedure the code describes. State and local procurement offices do not directly purchase individual surgical procedures as line items; such procedures are embedded in hospital contracts, insurance plans, or health system referral networks that roll up under broader health services codes.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the opportunities posted suggests either miscategorization at the source or a data anomaly in the tagging system. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat the recent activity as a signal of low or misaligned purchasing rather than genuine demand for this specific procedure category. Watch for clarification of how state and local bodies are actually categorizing cardiovascular surgical services under UNSPSC in their procurement systems, as the current tagging does not reflect meaningful transactional opportunity.
