UNSPSC 85493808: Replacement of pericardium with zooplastic tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pericardium with zooplastic tissue, 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 02RN08Z

UNSPSC 85493808 Replacement of pericardium with zooplastic tissue, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving synthetic or animal-derived tissue replacement of the pericardium—a highly specialized cardiac surgical intervention typically performed in hospital operating rooms. However, the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of pericardial replacement services or related surgical supplies. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these scopes involve pericardial tissue replacement, cardiac surgery supplies, or operative cardiac procedures.

The issuing bodies in the tagged opportunities include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), cities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The code shows no recent relevant procurement activity—the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities listed suggests either classification error in the source data or use of this code as a placeholder. State and local governments purchasing pericardial replacement tissue or related cardiac surgical supplies do not appear in the recent opportunities block.
