UNSPSC 85493008: Supplement left ventricle with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left ventricle with synthetic 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 02UL0JZ

UNSPSC 85493008 Supplement left ventricle with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical implant procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with implantable medical devices or cardiac surgery. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement for inmate healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve ventricular-assist devices or cardiac surgical implants. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities by the issuing bodies, and no recent solicitations reflect work actually matching the code's stated scope.

The geographic spread of these opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County/Columbus), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with due dates ranging from April through October 2026. Because the opportunities do not represent genuine procurement under this Commodity code, the mismatch signals that this code sees little to no relevant recent activity in state and local contracting. Firms evaluating this code should verify procurement need directly with target jurisdictions rather than relying on recent notices, as the available opportunities provide no signal of actual demand for cardiac implant devices or related services at the state and local level.
