UNSPSC 85494122: Supplement pulmonary valve with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement pulmonary valve with synthetic 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 02UH0JZ

UNSPSC 85494122 Supplement pulmonary valve with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally addressing a specific surgical cardiac procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no direct alignment with cardiac valve implantation or surgical supplies. The five opportunities in the activity block span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve pulmonary valve replacement or cardiac surgical devices. The code appears to be misapplied across these solicitations, indicating either a classification error in the source data or a significant mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and actual procurement activity.

The issuing bodies include Muscogee County (Georgia) and Columbus Consolidated Government, Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — a mix of county human resources and purchasing divisions, county board of commissioners, and a municipal fire department. Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California. The recent opportunities reflect a pattern of state and local health-benefits and public-health procurement rather than medical device or surgical supply activity. Given the apparent code mismatch, this code warrants close scrutiny before committing business development resources; the taxonomy tag does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it.
