UNSPSC 85494171: Extirpation of matter from mitral valve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from mitral valve, 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 02CG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494171 Extirpation of matter from mitral valve, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The source shows no recent opportunities for cardiac surgical procedures or mitral valve intervention services from state or local governments. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve mitral valve surgery or cardiothoracic intervention. The code appears to be a data classification error or miscategorization at the source level rather than a valid signal of state and local buying activity.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the opportunities posted suggests that vendors should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes. The recent opportunities—from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation RFP, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out RFP, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency medical services RFI, due September 25, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management RFP, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026)—are properly classified under administrative healthcare, occupational health, and staffing codes, not cardiac surgery. No pursuit activity is warranted under this code pending corrected taxonomy assignment.
