UNSPSC 85494144: Replacement of pulmonary valve with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pulmonary valve with synthetic 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 02RH0JZ

UNSPSC 85494144 Replacement of pulmonary valve with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve procurement of implantable medical devices or cardiac surgery services. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve pulmonary valve replacement or implantable cardiac devices.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipalities: Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out), County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency medical services for detained youth). Geographic activity appears across Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries RFP 20260825 (occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix RTMRFP26001 (independent disability medical evaluations due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), and the City of Long Beach HR26753 (surgical benefit carve-out due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it; no recent opportunities involve the procurement of pulmonary valve replacements or cardiac implantable devices.
