UNSPSC 85494806: Bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk 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 pulmonary trunk 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 021V4KP

UNSPSC 85494806 (Bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a highly specific surgical procedure; recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with that description. The most recent records tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferries workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and related health plan administration services. None of these activities represent procurement of the procedure named in the code itself—vascular bypass surgery with synthetic tissue substitutes.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation authorities (Harris County), and county commissioners (Collier County). Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The apparent tagging mismatch suggests this code may be functioning as a catchall for health services procurement in state and local systems rather than reflecting genuine demand for the specific surgical procedure. Firms evaluating activity under this code should treat it as a signal of code-classification error rather than a genuine procurement opportunity in vascular surgery device supply or related clinical services.
