UNSPSC 85492740: Removal of zooplastic tissue from heart, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of zooplastic tissue from 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 02PA08Z

UNSPSC 85492740 Removal of zooplastic tissue from heart, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code do not solicit cardiac tissue removal or open-heart surgical services. Instead, the indexed opportunities span disability medical record summarization and independent medical evaluations (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), surgical benefit carve-outs and Center of Excellence networks for elective procedures (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Ferries), emergency and inpatient care for youth in detention (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). These represent procurement of medical administration, benefits management, occupational health, and staffing services rather than specialized surgical interventions.

The mismatch between the code's clinical designation and actual purchasing activity suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local system or that this Commodity code is not actively used in state and local government procurement. No state or local body has posted a solicitation for cardiac tissue removal services, and the indexed opportunities address health benefits design, occupational compliance, detention health services, pharmacy claims processing, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which align with the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Firms evaluating this code should treat the activity as dormant and monitor whether jurisdictions begin using it for actual cardiac surgical services in the future.
