This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in ventricular septum, percutaneous endoscopic 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 02WM4JZ

UNSPSC 85493501, Revision of synthetic substitute in ventricular septum, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment between its nominal medical-device scope and the recent state and local contracting activity tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code are predominantly human-services and administrative procurements — medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — rather than procurement of the specialized cardiac device or procedure the code describes. The issuing bodies span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments, reflecting broad geographic and sectoral diversity in state and local healthcare administration, but the work being solicited does not match the code's implicitly narrow device or procedure focus.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for 3,800 enrolled members; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (due April 9, 2026, with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no current activity in cardiac device procurement or implant procedures. Firms pursuing opportunities under this UNSPSC code should note the tagging mismatch and verify the actual scope directly in the RFP documents rather than relying on the code description.
