UNSPSC 85494807 Bypass superior vena cava to left pulmonary artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged with this code show no medical device procurement or cardiac surgical procedures aligned with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities cluster around health benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve the specific surgical implant or procedure the code names. The issuing bodies are counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health systems, but they are purchasing health plan management, disability benefit medical reviews, and workforce health services rather than cardiac surgical devices or procedures.

This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity description. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the mismatch between the code's surgical-device taxonomy and the actual scope of work being procured suggests either a data-entry or classification error in the source material. Business development professionals pursuing procurement under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing authority before investing bid resources, as the tagged opportunities do not map to cardiac surgical implants or procedures.
