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

UNSPSC 85494148 Replacement of mitral valve with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for government employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve cardiac valve replacement procedures or operative cardiac surgery. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a regional health system, but the scope variance suggests either a systematic tagging misalignment or use of the code as a catch-all for health services procurement.

The geographic spread spans Washington State, Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no single state showing dominant recent activity. Representative posted opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit for government employees (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for cardiac valve replacement or surgical supply procurement, and pursuit should focus on confirming proper code assignment before developing capture strategy.
