UNSPSC 85493304: Supplement ventricular septum with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement ventricular septum with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 02UM37Z

UNSPSC 85493304 Supplement ventricular septum with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical care networks, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which relate to ventricular septum repair or cardiac surgical procedures using autologous tissue substitutes. State and local governments do not appear to procure this specific cardiac surgical service through competitive solicitation.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a systematic tagging error or that cardiac tissue-replacement procedures at this specificity level fall outside typical state and local procurement channels. Public entities may obtain such services through standing contracts with health systems, group purchasing organization (GPO) agreements, or direct payment to providers rather than through competitive RFPs and RFQs. No further pursuit is warranted unless the source material is revised to show genuine cardiac surgical procurement activity.
