UNSPSC 85494009: Replacement of pericardium with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pericardium with autologous 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 02RN47Z

UNSPSC 85494009 Replacement of pericardium with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—a narrowly defined cardiac surgical procedure—does not map to the work being solicited under this UNSPSC tag in recent state and local opportunities. Recent postings instead reflect occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve pericardial replacement or tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or that this code is not actively used for genuine state and local procurement in these service domains.

The recent opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, issued by a city retirement board, city employee health benefits offices, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county probation departments. No single jurisdiction appears twice, and activity is episodic rather than sustained. The geographic and issuing-body scatter, combined with the fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being purchased, indicates this code does not represent a viable procurement category for state and local suppliers focused on the titled clinical service.
