UNSPSC 85494007: Replacement of pericardium with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pericardium with synthetic 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 02RN4JZ

UNSPSC 85494007 Replacement of pericardium with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach shows minimal relevant recent activity under this Commodity code at the state and local level. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving synthetic pericardial replacement, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it include disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention medical services. None of these solicitations directly procure pericardial implants or related cardiac surgical supplies or services. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being bought indicates that state and local procurement offices are using this code incorrectly or the source data reflects a tagging error rather than genuine procurement activity aligned with the code's scope.

State and local governments appear not to be actively purchasing pericardial replacement procedures or supplies under this code at present. The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span city retirement offices, municipal health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and county human resources departments — jurisdictions that typically manage benefits, staffing, and health services rather than procure surgical implants or procedure-specific medical devices. If your firm pursues opportunities under this code, verify independently that any newly posted solicitation actually involves pericardial implants, cardiac surgery supplies, or related surgical procedures rather than relying on UNSPSC tagging alone.
