UNSPSC 85493806: Replacement of pericardium with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pericardium with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 02RN0KZ

UNSPSC 85493806 Replacement of pericardium with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific cardiac surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve pericardial replacement or related cardiac implant procedures, and they span administrative support, employee benefits contracting, occupational health, detention healthcare, and staffing placement—categories orthogonal to surgical implant procurement.

The opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county commissioners offices (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara), spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. This wide geographic and jurisdictional spread, combined with the absence of surgical procedure procurement, suggests the code assignment reflects a data-quality mismatch rather than active state and local buying in this commodity category. A business development professional evaluating this code should verify whether the UNSPSC taxonomy is correctly applied to surgical implant procurement in their target market before committing resources to pursuit.
