UNSPSC 85494113 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in aortic valve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code in state and local government procurement channels span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve aortic valve surgery or tissue substitutes. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the source jurisdictions' procurement systems or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for health services rather than as a marker for the cardiac surgical procedures it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies tagging activity to this code include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipality (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Recent solicitations with explicit response dates fall between August and October 2026, with geographic activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The disconnect between code and scope indicates that business developers pursuing state and local health services contracts should not rely on this code for market research or opportunity identification; activity is likely dispersed across administrative services, staffing, and benefit management codes rather than concentrated here.
