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 02NJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494164 Release tricuspid valve, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect cardiac implant or surgical services. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve tricuspid valve repair or cardiac surgery. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems using this code, or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for healthcare service contracting. Issuing bodies range across county correctional facilities, county human resources and health divisions, county commission boards managing employee health plans, and municipal fire departments. These are administratively distinct jurisdictions—counties with healthcare consortium responsibilities, independent county purchasing offices, and municipal safety departments—rather than a concentrated buyer segment.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical services, RFP posted April 2026, due May 15), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, RFP posted April 2026, due April 9; Monroe County virtual care services, RFP posted March 2026, due April 16), California (San Mateo County peer support services, RFP posted February 2026, due July 2025; Santa Monica Fire Department medical director, RFP posted February 2026, due October 2025). The Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy contract (Columbus Consolidated Government Finance Department, RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026) illustrates the healthcare administration scope—the $95,537.71 monthly cost covers medical intake, sick call, chronic care, emergency referrals, pharmacy formulary management, and laboratory services for approximately 576 inmates. The Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) covers administrative PBM services for 2,400 county employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million annual historical pharmacy spend. Neither opportunity involves surgical procedure codes or implantable devices; the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated cardiac-procedure scope.
