UNSPSC 85494120: Supplement tricuspid valve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement tricuspid valve with autologous 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 02UJ07Z

UNSPSC 85494120 Supplement tricuspid valve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specialized cardiac surgical implant procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with that scope. The opportunities instead reflect medical services procurement across occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve tricuspid valve implants or cardiac surgical implants at all. The code shows a material mismatch between its abstract definition and what state and local governments are actually buying under it in practice.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—but they represent medical services administration and staffing rather than implantable medical devices or surgical procedures. Without evidence that state and local procurement activity under this code actually involves tricuspid valve implants or related cardiac devices, the code does not support a meaningful business development signal for vendors in the cardiac implant space.
