UNSPSC 85492726: Supplement heart with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement heart with autologous tissue substitute, 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 02UA07Z

UNSPSC 85492726 Supplement heart with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most-recently posted opportunities in the source — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county health plan, virtual primary and urgent care for county employees, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — do not involve cardiac surgical procedures or tissue-based heart augmentation. The code's nominal scope (surgical implantation of autologous tissue to supplement cardiac function) does not match the work actually being solicited under it in the state and local market.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code and the posted opportunities signals that either the code has been misapplied to these records or the code itself sees minimal direct procurement activity from state and local buyers. State procurement offices do purchase medical services, pharmacy administration, and clinical personnel — as evidenced by the recent activity — but cardiac surgical procedures are typically handled through hospital contracts, physician credentialing, or capital equipment purchases rather than standalone commodity codes at the UNSPSC level. If pursuing this code, verify with the issuing jurisdiction that the code tag is accurate before scoping a bid.
