UNSPSC 85493034: Replacement of ventricular septum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of ventricular septum 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 02RM0KZ

UNSPSC 85493034 Replacement of ventricular septum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving cardiac tissue replacement; however, the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for non-cardiac procedures, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve ventricular septum replacement or cardiac tissue implantation. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement database or that this highly specialized surgical procedure is not actively solicited through standard state and local buying channels.

State and local procurement activity under this code is essentially absent in the available recent record. The opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC code represent general healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management services rather than implantable cardiac devices or open-heart surgical procedures. Vendors pursuing work in cardiac tissue replacement or related implantable technologies should verify the correct UNSPSC codes with relevant issuing bodies before pursuing state and local opportunities, as this code does not reflect active procurement demand.
