UNSPSC 85493040: Replacement of left ventricle with zooplastic tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ventricle with zooplastic tissue, 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 02RL08Z

UNSPSC 85493040 Replacement of left ventricle with zooplastic tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical implantation of zooplastic tissue; instead, they reflect a broad collection of health-related services—medical evaluation and surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health screening, and temporary clinical staffing. The code appears to function as a catch-all classification for health-sector contracting activity rather than a focused taxonomy for a specific surgical procedure. Issuing bodies include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation).

Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single state dominating the recent record. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs targeting Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. The Santa Clara County Health System issued an RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories due October 7, 2026, accepting multiple awards on a non-guaranteed, qualified-vendor-pool basis. The code shows no coherent procurement category—the UNSPSC classification does not match the services being bought, and the opportunities themselves span independent contracting, staffing pool qualification, benefit administration, and occupational health, with no clear transactional pattern or repeat buyer concentration.
