UNSPSC 85493042: Replacement of right ventricle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right ventricle 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 02RK0KZ

UNSPSC 85493042 Replacement of right ventricle with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that the source shows does not align with active state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving implantation of synthetic cardiac tissue, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve right ventricular replacement or cardiac tissue implantation. The mismatch suggests that this code is either mistagged in the underlying procurement databases or reflects a classification anomaly rather than coherent buying patterns.

The six recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county-level systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single state dominating. The most concrete solicitations are the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026) covering 14 ferry terminals and requiring occupational medicine board certification, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System. Given the absence of cardiac implantation work and the divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual posted opportunities, this code shows minimal relevance for vendors focused on surgical device procurement or cardiac tissue services.
