UNSPSC 85493045 Replacement of right ventricle with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code—covering independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve cardiac surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The source presents a clear mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific cardiac surgical technique) and the actual work being solicited by state and local bodies, which centers on medical services administration, staffing, and benefit management.

State and local procurement offices do not commonly solicit cardiovascular surgical procedures as standalone line items; when they purchase such services, they do so through institutional healthcare contracts or capitated benefit arrangements with hospitals and health systems rather than through discrete procedure specifications. This code appears to have been incorrectly applied to administrative and staffing solicitations in the recent posting cycle. Buyers should verify code assignment with the issuing body if pursuing opportunities in this space.
