UNSPSC 85493306: Supplement left ventricle with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left ventricle with synthetic 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 02UL3JZ

UNSPSC 85493306 Supplement left ventricle with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment between its nominal medical device scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name references a specific cardiac surgical implant procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span prison healthcare contracting, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care services, peer support staffing, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve left ventricular assist devices or comparable implantable cardiac equipment. The mismatch suggests either misclassification of these opportunities within state and local procurement systems or that the code is being applied to broader healthcare service procurement rather than to the specific device category its name denotes.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with postings from Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services (Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services RFP 628, due April 16, 2026, for 2,300 county members), Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division (Inmate Medical & Pharmacy Services for Muscogee County Prison RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026, current monthly cost $95,537.71), plus solicitations from San Mateo County Health in California (Peer Support for Peer Workers MHSA INN RFP 2025-007, $580,000 total) and the Santa Monica Fire Department in California (Fire Department Medical Director RFP 455). The issuing bodies mix county government procurement offices, municipal fire departments, and county behavioral health agencies. Given the disconnect between the code's stated purpose and the work actually being solicited, firms pursuing state and local opportunities should verify code assignment before committing pursuit resources.
