UNSPSC 85493115: Insertion of biventricular external heart assist system into heart, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of biventricular external heart assist system into heart, 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 02HA0RS

UNSPSC 85493115 Insertion of biventricular external heart assist system into heart, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the public record. The code nominally describes a specialized surgical procedure involving implantation of a mechanical circulatory support device; however, the most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical care carve-out benefits, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve biventricular assist device insertion or related cardiac surgery.

The source shows no recent state and local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB opportunities for biventricular external heart assist system insertion or related implantable cardiac devices. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the opportun­ities appearing under it indicates either a tagging error in the procurement database or a systematic misapplication of this commodity code to broader healthcare service categories. Business development professionals should treat this code as currently inactive for procurement purposes and verify categorization directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
