UNSPSC 85494805: Bypass superior vena cava to right 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 right 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 021V4KQ

UNSPSC 85494805 Bypass superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits — none of which involve vascular bypass surgery or implantable medical devices. State and local buying offices appear to have misapplied this Commodity code to broadly miscellaneous healthcare and benefits administration services, creating a catalog mismatch. The code does not reflect procurement of the named procedure or related cardiovascular implants.

The recent opportunities in this code span Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), City of Phoenix (independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations), City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out network management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for youth in detention), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Arizona. Because the code itself does not describe the services actually being solicited, the category offers no decision-relevant signal for firms pursuing cardiovascular implant, cardiac surgical, or vascular bypass work. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for its nominal scope and verify the correct commodity classification with the procurement office before pursuit.
