UNSPSC 85492834: Removal of synthetic substitute from heart, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from heart, 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 02PA3JZ

UNSPSC 85492834 Removal of synthetic substitute from heart, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific cardiac surgical procedure—does not align with the six recent opportunities posted under this code, which instead solicit independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgery networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations are administrative healthcare contracting, network management, and staffing services rather than direct surgical intervention. State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these opportunities under a clinical procedure code when they should map to administrative healthcare services, benefits administration, or staffing taxonomy.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but the substantive mismatch between the code and the work being solicited undermines any meaningful characterization of this code's actual market. Unless your firm pursues surgical procedure coding or direct provision of cardiac interventions to state and local health systems—a distinctly uncommon procurement channel—this code warrants immediate skip. Monitor for corrected filings or reclassification to healthcare administration codes if procurement offices recognize the taxonomic error.
