UNSPSC 85494107: Revision of zooplastic tissue in pulmonary valve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of zooplastic tissue 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 02WH08Z

UNSPSC 85494107 Revision of zooplastic tissue in pulmonary valve, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect the medical and health services actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, and specialty surgical carve-outs — none of which involve pulmonary valve revision surgery or implantable medical devices. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the work government procurement offices are classifying under it. State and local issuing bodies tagging to this code include county health systems, county boards of commissioners, transit authorities, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

The recent opportunities posted under this code—from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001, independent medical evaluation services, RFP due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP 25-8414, pharmacy benefit management, responses due April 9, 2026), County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (071626BNM, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, RFI due September 25, 2026)—suggest the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than as a descriptor of surgical device implantation. Business development professionals evaluating this code should recognize that state and local procurement offices are not using it to source cardiac implants or surgical supplies but rather to manage staffing, benefit administration, and occupational health programs. The code's utility for pursuing work in its nominal surgical scope appears negligible.
