UNSPSC 85491934: Replacement of thoracic aorta with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of thoracic aorta with zooplastic 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 02RW48Z

UNSPSC 85491934 Replacement of thoracic aorta with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a highly specialized surgical procedure, but the most-recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees — none of which involve thoracic aortic replacement or use of zooplastic tissue. The opportunities reflect a mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the work actually being solicited by state and local buyers, suggesting either a classification error in the source data or a code applied too broadly to administrative and preventive health services rather than operative procedures.

State and local procurement activity under this code, as currently tagged, does not support a pursue decision. Bidders should verify the accuracy of code assignment in any RFP or RFQ they encounter; when the code nominates a surgical procedure but the scope of work describes medical staffing, surveillance, or benefit administration, clarify the correct UNSPSC designation before preparing a response.
