This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement pulmonary 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 02UH0KZ

UNSPSC 85494121 Supplement pulmonary valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code intended to classify surgical implant procedures, but recent state and local contract activity shows minimal alignment with this code's nominal scope. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida—solicited independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involves the procurement of pulmonary valve implants or surgical devices; instead, they reflect administrative healthcare services, benefit management, and workforce staffing that fall outside the code's stated product definition.

The issuing bodies span diverse state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The mismatch between code classification and actual procurement scope suggests either systematic miscoding or misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy at the sourcing stage. No recent opportunities in the posted record reflect direct procurement of cardiac surgical implants or valve replacement materials under this code. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before committing resources; the code shows little relevant recent activity.
