UNSPSC 85493006: Supplement ventricular septum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement ventricular septum 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 02UM07Z

UNSPSC 85493006 Supplement ventricular septum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical or clinical interventions. Instead, the code shows activity in healthcare services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — which diverges substantially from the code's stated scope. The opportunities span comprehensive care coordination, program administration, and clinical management rather than tissue-engineering or surgical repair.

The issuing bodies include a county consolidated government (Muscogee County, Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Recent opportunities include Muscogee County's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, California, and scattered activity across multiple jurisdictions. The mismatch between the code's stated clinical procedure and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests this code is not appropriately categorizing the health services procurement activity appearing under it, making it a poor indicator of genuine state and local demand for the tissue-supplement procedure the code nominally describes.
