UNSPSC 85493516: Supplement papillary muscle with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement papillary muscle with synthetic substitute, 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 02UD4JZ

UNSPSC 85493516 Supplement papillary muscle with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contract opportunities in the source material. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for cardiac muscle supplementation; however, the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve cardiac surgical procedures, synthetic muscle substitutes, or percutaneous endoscopic approaches to papillary muscle repair.

The mismatch between the code's procedural title and the actual work being solicited suggests either a miscoding error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or that this code is being applied generically to medical service categories without regard to its specific clinical definition. Given this disconnect, the code shows no relevant recent activity for state and local government procurement of the cardiac surgical procedure it nominally describes. Firms pursuing contracts under this code should verify the actual scope of work in each RFP before submitting, as the code classification does not reflect the services being requested.
