UNSPSC 85494106: Revision of synthetic substitute in pulmonary valve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in pulmonary 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 02WH0JZ

UNSPSC 85494106 Revision of synthetic substitute in pulmonary valve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve cardiac valve procedures or cardiac surgery; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and detention facility medical services.

The code appears to have been applied to a diverse set of health-system and public-sector medical contracting activity that does not match the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. No state or local jurisdiction has posted a solicitation for cardiac valve revision or replacement services under UNSPSC 85494106 in the recent opportunities block. The mismatch suggests that either the code is being used as a catch-all for medical contracting that does not fit narrower taxonomy entries, or the posting agencies have misclassified the work. Business development professionals should verify the actual scope of any opportunity tagged to this code before investing pursuit effort, as the posted opportunities (spanning Washington State ferries occupational health, Phoenix pension disability evaluations, Long Beach employee surgical benefits, Harris County juvenile detention medical services, and Collier County pharmacy benefit management) represent administrative and preventive medical contracting rather than acute surgical procedures.
