UNSPSC 85494146: Replacement of pulmonary valve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pulmonary valve with autologous 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 02RH07Z

UNSPSC 85494146 Replacement of pulmonary valve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope. The six most-recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations address pulmonary valve replacement procedures or cardiac surgical implants. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to state and local health-system procurement activity that falls outside its clinical taxonomy.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas, with no concentration in any particular state or region. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not represent a viable procurement opportunity for vendors specializing in cardiac surgical procedures, tissue substitutes, or related implant services. Practitioners should verify code assignments with issuing bodies when submitting bids, as the taxonomy tag does not reflect the clinical or commercial substance of these solicitations.
