UNSPSC 85493047: Replacement of papillary muscle with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of papillary muscle 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 02RD0JZ

UNSPSC 85493047 Replacement of papillary muscle with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code in the procurement database involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concerns the procurement or implantation of synthetic papillary muscle replacements or cardiac surgical procedures.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that this code either reflects residual or erroneous tagging in state and local procurement systems, or that papillary muscle replacement procedures are not currently being purchased as discrete line items or service contracts by state agencies, counties, municipalities, or other local public bodies in the observable market. Firms evaluating opportunities under this code should treat it as inactive for business development purposes and monitor higher-tier cardiac surgery or cardiovascular services codes for relevant activity instead.
