UNSPSC 85493534: Replacement of ventricular septum with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of ventricular septum with nonautologous tissue 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 02RM4KZ

UNSPSC 85493534, Replacement of ventricular septum with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code address medical services procurement—disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve surgical implantation of tissue substitutes or cardiac procedures at the procedural level the code nominates. The code appears to have been misapplied across a diverse set of healthcare service and benefit-administration solicitations rather than reflecting the narrow medical device or implant procedure the UNSPSC nomenclature describes.

Activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies, with recent opportunities from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No representative opportunities directly match the code's stated scope; the mismatch between the code definition and the work actually solicited suggests the code is not an effective filter for state and local procurement under this taxonomy category.
