UNSPSC 85494133: Supplement chordae tendineae with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement chordae tendineae 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 02U90KZ

UNSPSC 85494133 Supplement chordae tendineae with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific cardiac surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's stated scope. The few recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve cardiac tissue supplement procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either consistent misclassification by issuing bodies or a code rarely used for its intended purpose in state and local procurement.

Activity appears concentrated in a handful of states. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance across Washington State Ferries' 14 regional locations (due October 9, 2026). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years). The City of Long Beach solicited proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (due April 9, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent activity reflective of cardiac surgical procedures and warrants clarification on issuing-body classification practices before pursuit.
