UNSPSC 85493014: Supplement right ventricle with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right ventricle 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 02UK07Z

UNSPSC 85493014 "Supplement right ventricle with autologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with the surgical scope reflected in the code name. The opportunities actually being solicited reflect a broad range of occupational health services, employee benefits administration, and clinical staffing procurement rather than cardiac surgical interventions. The issuing bodies span multiple municipal, county, and state agencies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice departments, and county human resources divisions. Work being solicited includes occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, specialty medical procedure carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, clinical staffing placement services across ancillary specialties, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which correspond to the cardiac-procedure scope embedded in the code's technical name.

Recent opportunities originate from Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida jurisdictions. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) to support disability determinations for police and fire pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Puget Sound locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through centers of excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, targeting April 1, 2027 go-live); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows low relevance to its nominal scope and warrants clarification with the issuing bodies before pursuing.
