UNSPSC 85492718: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in heart, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in heart, open 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 02WA07Z

UNSPSC 85492718 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in heart, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source records six recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code, but none involve autologous tissue substitutes, cardiac procedures, or surgical implants of any kind. The opportunities instead cover occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System), and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific cardiac surgical procedure—and the actual work being bought suggests either a classification error at the issuing bodies or incidental tagging that does not reflect genuine procurement under this commodity code.

Given this disconnect, the code does not present a meaningful market signal for firms pursuing contracts in medical device procurement, cardiac surgery services, or tissue-substitute manufacturing at the state and local level. The opportunities present across multiple states and issuing bodies, but they do not bear on the work that UNSPSC 85492718 is designed to identify. Business development professionals should verify whether opportunities tagged to this code are correctly classified before allocating pursuit resources.
