UNSPSC 85494101: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in tricuspid valve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in tricuspid valve, open 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 02WJ0KZ

UNSPSC 85494101 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in tricuspid valve, open approach, Commodity, shows no substantive alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific cardiac surgical procedure — replacement of a diseased tricuspid valve with prosthetic tissue — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it procure medical services, staffing, and benefits administration unrelated to cardiac implant devices or valve revision supplies.

The mismatch is decisive. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach's request for surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs and Centers of Excellence networks for employees (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty hospital care for detained youth; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026). None procures tricuspid valve implants, cardiac devices, or tissue substitutes. State and local governments do not appear to source this commodity through their standard procurement channels at present, or the recent tagging reflects misclassification rather than genuine demand under the code's stated scope.
