UNSPSC 85493015: Supplement papillary muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement papillary muscle with nonautologous 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 02UD0KZ

UNSPSC 85493015 Supplement papillary muscle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure for cardiac repair using tissue substitutes, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with that clinical scope. The code appears to be tagged to health care administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, medical staffing, and medical evaluation services—none of which involve surgical supplementation of cardiac tissue. The issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County in Florida; Harris County in Texas), cities (Phoenix and Long Beach in California), a state agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County Health System in California).

Recent opportunities under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits administered through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual spend of $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows activity across the Southwest, Pacific, and upper Midwest. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual health administration, occupational health, and staffing services being procured suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that this code is not actively used for its intended commodity in state and local contracting.
