UNSPSC 85494008: Replacement of pericardium with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pericardium with zooplastic tissue, 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 02RN48Z

UNSPSC 85494008 Replacement of pericardium with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this code. The source records six state and local opportunities tagged with this code, but none solicits pericardium replacement procedures or surgical implants of any kind. The mismatch between the code's stated scope—a specific cardiac surgical procedure—and the actual work being procured under it reflects a tagging anomaly rather than active market demand for the procedure itself.

The six opportunities tagged to this code instead cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefits, and juvenile detention medical services—none of which align with pericardial tissue replacement. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), but the work solicited involves medical administration, benefits management, and staffing rather than implant procurement or cardiac surgery. Geographic activity appears across Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona, yet the code's nominal scope does not map to any of these opportunities. Business development professionals evaluating this Commodity code should treat it as inactive for procurement purposes and verify correct UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before pursuing work under the code's stated definition.
