UNSPSC 85494154: Replacement of aortic valve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of aortic 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 02RF07Z

UNSPSC 85494154 Replacement of aortic valve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code are mismatched: they solicit independent medical evaluation services (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out administration (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve aortic valve replacement procedures or implantable medical devices. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure with an autologous tissue substitute—does not align with the administrative, staffing, and benefit-management services being procured.

The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that this code has been applied to health-system procurement notices in error. State and local agencies posting these opportunities span state departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), municipal employee-benefit offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county boards of commissioners. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. If pursuing opportunities under this code, verify with the issuing body that the UNSPSC designation reflects the actual scope of work; the recent record provides no evidence of procurement activity aligned with surgical implantable devices or cardiovascular procedures.
