This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of tricuspid valve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85494142 Replacement of tricuspid valve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes surgical cardiac repair. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's surgical scope; instead, they track medical surveillance, occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement signals that this code does not reliably capture surgical cardiac procedures in state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code span county human resources departments (Collier County, County of Santa Clara), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary health professional staffing qualifications due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity includes Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The code's current use in state and local procurement does not reflect the specialized surgical cardiac intervention its taxonomy name describes.
