UNSPSC 85494006: Replacement of pericardium with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 02RN4KZ

UNSPSC 85494006 Replacement of pericardium with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving tissue replacement—does not align with the actual work state and local issuers are buying. Recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summarization, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, emergency youth detention healthcare, and independent medical evaluations. These represent general health services contracting and benefits administration rather than procurement of the specific cardiac surgical procedure the code describes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no pattern of repeat buyers under this code in the recent record.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and California, with solicitations from Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), Washington (WSDOT), and California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414). The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement suggests this code is either misapplied by issuing jurisdictions or captures medical administration and benefits contracting rather than tissue substitute procurement.
