UNSPSC 85494117: Supplement tricuspid valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement tricuspid valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 02UJ0KZ

UNSPSC 85494117 Supplement tricuspid valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical device, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's medical device scope. The most-recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve tricuspid valve implants or surgical devices. This mismatch signals either miscoding at the issuing-body level or that the code has been repurposed to capture broader health services contracting; state and local procurement offices do not consistently enforce UNSPSC taxonomy discipline, and this code shows no recent relevant medical device activity.

The geographic spread of recent tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluation RFP RTMRFP26001 due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP HR26753 due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary clinical staffing RFSQHHSFY270052 due October 7, 2026), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP20260825 due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP 25-8414, with historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services RFI 071626BNM due September 25, 2026). Buyers include state agencies, county health systems, county human resources departments, and county probation services. Given the code's structural mismatch with actual procurement activity, vendors pursuing state and local business under this code should verify the intended UNSPSC classification during pre-bid or Q&A cycles rather than assume tricuspid valve device applicability.
