UNSPSC 85493039: Replacement of left ventricle with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ventricle 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 02RL0JZ

UNSPSC 85493039 Replacement of left ventricle with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve cardiac surgical implants or synthetic ventricular replacement devices. The code's nominal scope addresses a specific surgical procedure and implantable device, but the state and local purchasing bodies posting opportunities under this tag are instead soliciting administrative health services, staffing, and benefits management contracting.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The source provides no evidence that state and local buyers are actively procuring left ventricular assist devices, artificial heart implants, or related cardiac surgical supplies or services under this code. The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope renders pursuit under this code unlikely to yield relevant opportunities.
