UNSPSC 85494129: Supplement aortic valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement aortic 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 02UF0KZ

UNSPSC 85494129 Supplement aortic valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical implant, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not match this scope. The most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block shows five postings spanning inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve aortic valve implants or cardiac surgery supplies. The code appears to have been incorrectly tagged or applied to general healthcare procurement activities rather than to the specific medical device it names. State and local procurement offices sourcing this code are unlikely to be pursuing cardiac implant supply agreements under it.

The source provides no recent opportunities that are substantively related to aortic valve supplements or cardiac surgical devices. When a procurement code's abstract title and its recent activity diverge this sharply, the code signals either misclassification by issuing bodies, data-entry error, or a category that sees little relevant activity. A business development professional evaluating this code for pursuit should verify whether it has been correctly applied to your target market and, if so, consider whether the actual buying activity—general healthcare administration and clinical services—aligns with your firm's capabilities and sales strategy.
