UNSPSC 85493043: Replacement of right ventricle with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right 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 02RK0JZ

UNSPSC 85493043 Replacement of right ventricle with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific cardiac surgical procedure — does not match the medical and health services actually being solicited by state and local government in the recent-opportunities record. The opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve replacement of cardiac structures with synthetic substitutes.

State and local procurement systems sometimes apply UNSPSC codes that diverge significantly from the work being bought. In this case, the mismatch is substantial: the code describes a narrowly defined surgical intervention, while the actual solicitations cover administrative medical services, benefits program management, occupational health compliance, and temporary staffing placement. The code does not appear to be a useful entry point for vendors pursuing state and local health services contracts. Bidders should focus on codes aligned with the specific service categories being actively solicited — such as codes covering independent medical services, benefits administration, occupational health programs, or health professional staffing — rather than this procedure-specific code.
