UNSPSC 85493016: Supplement papillary muscle with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement papillary muscle 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 02UD0JZ

UNSPSC 85493016 Supplement papillary muscle with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for cardiac intervention, but the five most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve comprehensive healthcare contracting — inmate medical and pharmacy services for county correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical implantation or cardiac procedures.

The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or a categorical mismatch in the state and local procurement system. State and local issuers — including the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — are using this code to tag healthcare service and staffing contracts rather than implantable medical devices or surgical procedures. Unless you specialize in cardiac device distribution or surgical implant supply chains serving correctional health systems, this code shows little relevant recent activity and merits monitoring only if mislabeling corrects itself in future cycles.
