This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk 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 021V4AP

UNSPSC 85494812, Bypass superior vena cava to pulmonary trunk with autologous arterial tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specialized surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities associated with it do not reflect procurement of this specific surgical service. Instead, the sourced solicitations span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited under it suggests this code does not meaningfully capture current state and local medical services procurement activity, or the opportunities have been mistagged in the taxonomy.

Recent activity appears across state departments, counties, cities, and health systems, with no dominant repeat buyer. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations due October 16, 2026 at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical procedure carve-out networks (knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology) due October 7, 2026; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California (Santa Clara, Long Beach), Florida, and Texas. Given the divergence between the code's stated scope and the actual opportunities sourced under it, pursuit decisions should account for the possibility of systematic mistagging rather than genuine alignment with this particular surgical procedure code.
