UNSPSC 85491947: Replacement of pulmonary trunk with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pulmonary trunk with autologous tissue substitute, 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 02RP47Z

UNSPSC 85491947, Replacement of pulmonary trunk with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect no procurement of cardiac surgery services, surgical implants, or tissue substitutes. Instead, the tagged solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which fall within the code's stated scope of cardiac procedural services or implantable materials.

The disconnect between the code's technical medical description and the actual work being solicited indicates that this code either receives misapplication by state and local procurement offices or carries minimal purchasing activity in the jurisdictions represented. The recent opportunities originate from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California) — a geographically dispersed set of issuing bodies across five states. No recent opportunities directly procure the specialized cardiac surgical or tissue-substitute services the code describes, and the apparent tagging misalignment suggests this code warrants caution during bid evaluation or qualification planning.
