UNSPSC 85494158: Replacement of chordae tendineae with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of chordae tendineae 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 02R907Z

UNSPSC 85494158 Replacement of chordae tendineae with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific cardiac surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The six most recent state and local contract opportunities solicited under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations directly concern the procurement or provision of chordae tendineae replacement surgery or cardiac tissue substitutes. The issuing bodies represent a mix of municipal retirement offices, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health benefits programs, and county health systems—all purchasing healthcare administration, staffing, or benefit-management services rather than surgical implants or procedures.

The geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no pattern of repeat activity under this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal procedure-level scope and the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being solicited suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or an administrative artifact with no active market signal. Firms in cardiovascular surgical implants, tissue engineering, or cardiac device distribution should not treat this code as actionable for state and local opportunity pursuit. The code warrants monitoring only if future opportunities begin to reflect actual procurement of chordae tendineae products or related cardiac surgical services.
