UNSPSC 85494110: Revision of synthetic substitute in mitral valve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in mitral 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 02WG0JZ

UNSPSC 85494110 Revision of synthetic substitute in mitral valve, open approach (Commodity) shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal cardiac-surgical scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract definition references a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve mitral valve revision or open surgical cardiac intervention. The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), county probation departments (Harris County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). This fragmentation suggests the code is being used inconsistently or applied as a catch-all for healthcare-related services without regard to its specific surgical definition.

Geographic activity spans California (Santa Clara, Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State, with no apparent concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid on August 31, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories due October 7, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services through Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026. Bidders should treat this code as unreliable for procurement targeting; the actual medical and healthcare-related opportunities appearing under it bear no functional relationship to cardiac surgical revision work, suggesting either systematic miscoding at source or use of the code as a default classification for health services generally.
