UNSPSC 85494174: Excision of tricuspid valve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of tricuspid 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 02BJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494174 "Excision of tricuspid valve, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy code. The recent solicitations capture inmate and employee healthcare services (medical and pharmacy management for correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction), none of which involve cardiac surgical procedures or tricuspid valve excision. The mismatch suggests a taxonomy classification error rather than active state and local procurement in this procedure category.

The source contains no recent opportunities for excision of tricuspid valve or related open cardiac surgical services. State and local governments are soliciting healthcare administration, behavioral health support, and occupational medicine services under this code identifier, but not the surgical intervention the code nominally describes. Vendors evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service lines before pursuing opportunities; relying on this code to identify relevant state and local procurement activity is unlikely to be productive.
