UNSPSC 85492821: Supplement heart with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement heart with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 02UA3JZ

UNSPSC 85492821 Supplement heart with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — implantation of a synthetic heart device via percutaneous method — yet the posted opportunities under this classification involve broader healthcare service procurement unrelated to cardiac device implantation: inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical direction for a fire department EMS program. None of these solicitations involve procurement of synthetic heart devices, cardiac implants, or percutaneous cardiac procedures.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica), with issuing bodies including county health departments, corrections facilities, county boards of commissioners, and municipal fire departments. Because the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect actual procurement of heart-substitute devices or implantation services, the code appears misclassified in the source data or the opportunities are tagged incorrectly. State and local governments do not currently solicit cardiac device implantation under this taxonomy entry based on available recent records.
