UNSPSC 85493037: Replacement of ventricular septum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of ventricular septum 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 02RM07Z

UNSPSC 85493037 Replacement of ventricular septum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align with what is actually being procured under this designation. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure performed on a patient in an operating room setting. Recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgery benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve the procurement or delivery of ventricular septum replacement procedures or related surgical supplies. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the source opportunities or a systematic miscoding of health services contracts, rather than a working state and local market for the procedure itself.

The geographic spread of opportunities nominally tagged under this code spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no pattern indicating concentrated activity. No recent state and local solicitations explicitly request ventricular septum replacement services, surgical implants for the procedure, or related cardiac surgical supplies. Without authentic procurement activity aligned to the code's stated scope, this UNSPSC designation shows no current buying signal for business development purposes.
