UNSPSC 85493615: Insertion of biventricular external heart assist system into heart, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of biventricular external heart assist system into heart, 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 02HA4RS

UNSPSC 85493615 Insertion of biventricular external heart assist system into heart, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specialized cardiac surgical procedure — does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical carve-out programs — none of which involve implantation of biventricular assist devices or percutaneous cardiac interventions. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code to broad healthcare administration and staffing services rather than to the specific procedure the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County) issuing bodies including cities, counties, and state health systems, with response dates ranging from September through October 2026. None of these solicitations solicited acquisition, contracting for, or reimbursement related to biventricular assist device implantation. A firm evaluating this code for state and local procurement should verify with procurement offices directly whether future opportunities in specialized cardiac surgery devices are being filed under this taxonomy, or whether the code remains misaligned with actual buying patterns in this space.
