UNSPSC 85494131: Supplement aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement aortic 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 02UF08Z

UNSPSC 85494131 Supplement aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no clear relationship to that medical intervention. The opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management administration for a county workforce, virtual primary and urgent care platform services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve aortic valve replacement or cardiovascular surgery; the code-opportunity mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source database or that this Commodity code has been repurposed in local procurement systems to flag healthcare services more broadly. The actual work being solicited—ongoing clinical administration, care coordination, and occupational health support—falls well outside the narrow scope the code name describes.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), with activity concentrated in Florida, California, and Georgia. Recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated commodity and the work actually being procured, this code appears to be an unreliable signal for identifying state and local healthcare opportunities; firms should verify coding accuracy independently rather than relying on this Commodity classification to identify relevant healthcare procurement activity.
