UNSPSC 85494143: Replacement of pulmonary valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pulmonary 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 02RH0KZ

UNSPSC 85494143 Replacement of pulmonary valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—implantation of a prosthetic pulmonary valve—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits programs, and youth detention medical services. None of these solicitations involve pulmonary valve replacement or related cardiac surgical procedures, indicating a systematic mismatch between the code assignment and the actual scope of work being procured.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with the issuing bodies comprising city retirement offices, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments. The most recent opportunities—Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026; WSDOT's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026—confirm that state and local procurement under this code does not currently target cardiac surgical services or valve replacement procedures. Until coding corrections are made or cardiac-specific opportunities materialize, this code presents no actionable business development opportunity for vendors in the pulmonary valve replacement sector.
