UNSPSC 85494001: Supplement pericardium with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement pericardium 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 02UN4KZ

UNSPSC 85494001 Supplement pericardium with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a substantial mismatch between its procedural-surgery nomenclature and the actual work being solicited by state and local governments under this tag. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are not purchasing pericardial tissue substitutes or cardiac surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, employee health benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and independent medical evaluation services. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county commissioners' offices—a mix of health benefits purchasers, occupational health administrators, and public sector employers rather than healthcare providers performing surgical procedures. The code appears to function as a catch-all tag for various health services and medical procurement within state and local systems, divorced from its narrow clinical meaning.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, covering medical record review and coordination of disability examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications with a five-year contract maximum of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians to deliver baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code carries little signal value for firms pursuing actual cardiac surgical supply or implant business with state and local entities.
