UNSPSC 85492722: Restriction of heart with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of heart with extraluminal device, 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 02VA0CZ

UNSPSC 85492722 Restriction of heart with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the available opportunities block. The code represents a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under this code do not involve cardiac medical devices or surgical services. Instead, the opportunities cover jail medical administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which relate to extraluminal cardiac restriction devices or open surgical approaches.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being procured indicates either a miscoding issue in the opportunities or a fundamental disconnect in how this UNSPSC classification is being applied by issuing bodies. State and local procurement does not show material recent activity under this code for the cardiac surgical device and procedure services the code nominally describes. No relevant opportunities exist to pursue under this classification in the current market.
