UNSPSC 85494811: Bypass superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, 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 autologous arterial tissue, 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 021V4AQ

UNSPSC 85494811 Bypass superior vena cava to right pulmonary artery with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code describing a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct alignment with the nominal procedure scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the procedure named in the code itself. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county boards of commissioners. This mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual procurement activity suggests either a data classification error or that the code is being applied to capture related health services procurement more broadly rather than the surgical procedure itself.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the procedural nature of the code's name and the absence of surgical procurement opportunities in the recent record, this code warrants verification for relevance to cardiovascular device, implant, or surgical services vendors before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
