UNSPSC 85492600: Heart assistance monitoring transplantation, external approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on heart assistance, monitoring and transplantation, external approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 02.

UNSPSC 85492600 Heart assistance monitoring transplantation, external approach is a Class code that shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it. The code's abstract name refers to external cardiac monitoring or support devices, yet the recent solicitations under this code center on occupational and disability medical services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—work that shares only tenuous connection to cardiac device management or transplantation monitoring.

The issuing bodies span state health agencies, county human services departments, and municipal retirement boards. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluations for public safety pension applicants), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth), and county health systems (temporary ancillary health professional staffing). The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, Texas, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) requiring baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, and deck crew across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit evaluations for public safety personnel; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFP (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and other ancillary clinical roles. The code's recent activity suggests procurement mistagging rather than genuine demand for cardiac device monitoring under this classification.
