This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ventricle with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85493538 Replacement of left ventricle with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent relevance to state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect the narrow medical device or surgical-procedure scope the code nominally describes. Instead, the state and local market under this code tag shows activity in occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration — none of which align with the code's specific designation of a left ventricle replacement procedure. State and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all classification for health plan administration and medical services contracting, not for the surgical implant the code name specifies.

Recent opportunities posted by state and local health systems, county health consortiums, and municipal pension boards include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program for its Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services RFP covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spend (RFP 25-8414), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These opportunities span Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with most issuing bodies being county health systems, municipal pension administrators, and state transportation agencies. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity signals either systematic miscoding or a data quality issue that warrants verification before pursuing opportunities under this code designation.
