UNSPSC 85494175 Excision of pulmonary valve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the five most recent state and local opportunities tagged under it involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary care and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical directorship — none of which involve pulmonary valve excision or surgical procedures generally. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code to broader healthcare service procurement without regard for its narrow clinical scope.

The geographic spread of the few opportunities captured spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica Fire Department), reflecting activity across multiple regions but no concentration pattern. Because the opportunities are fundamentally misaligned with the code's stated scope, this code shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement for the service it nominally describes. A vendor evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification if pursuing healthcare or medical service contracts.
