UNSPSC 85493051: Replacement of left atrium with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left atrium 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 02R70JZ

UNSPSC 85493051 Replacement of left atrium with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — involve no cardiac surgical procedures or synthetic organ replacement devices. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention performed in an operating room on an individual patient; the actual state and local solicitations cover administrative medical services, benefits program management, occupational health monitoring, and staffing models that do not involve implantable devices or surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with Florida appearing in one pharmacy-benefits opportunity (Collier County). The issuing bodies are municipal governments, county agencies, state departments, and county health systems. Because the code shows no substantive alignment between its stated scope and the work actually being solicited, this code offers minimal value for evaluating genuine cardiac surgical-device procurement activity at the state and local level.
