UNSPSC 85491718: Supplement thoracic aorta with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement thoracic aorta with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous 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 02UW38Z

UNSPSC 85491718, Supplement thoracic aorta with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve thoracic aortic surgery or zooplastic tissue procedures. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure name and the administrative healthcare contracting activity being purchased by state and local bodies.

No relevant recent procurement activity aligns with the code's stated scope. The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, Monroe County virtual care services, San Mateo County peer support services, and Santa Monica Fire Department medical direction) are all administrative healthcare and service contracting, not surgical implant or tissue-supplementation procurement. This code does not appear to be in active use for state and local government purchasing, and its application to the recent opportunities appears to be a data classification error rather than a signal of demand.
