This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement pulmonary valve with zooplastic tissue, 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 02UH08Z

UNSPSC 85494123 Supplement pulmonary valve with zooplastic tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — surgical implantation of animal-derived cardiac valve tissue — does not match the work being solicited under this code designation in recent state and local opportunities. The posted solicitations tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these opportunities involve cardiac valve implantation or related surgical supplies, and the code's narrow clinical scope does not logically encompass the broader healthcare administration and service delivery work being tagged to it.

The mismatch suggests this code may have been assigned in error across multiple jurisdictions, or the tagging reflects a data-quality issue in the source system rather than genuine market activity under the code's intended commodity classification. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement planning purposes unless source material clarifies that state and local buyers are actually purchasing zooplastic valve supplements for open surgical approaches. The geographic dispersion of the mismatched opportunities — spanning Georgia, Florida, and California — does not establish meaningful market concentration in any jurisdiction.
