UNSPSC 85494177: Excision of aortic valve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of aortic 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 02BF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494177 Excision of aortic valve, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are procuring under this code. The recent solicitations attributed to this code cover institutional healthcare administration and medical direction services — inmate medical and pharmacy programs for county correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care platforms for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director oversight — none of which involve surgical cardiovascular procedures. The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia; Collier County and Monroe County in Florida; San Mateo County in California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), with county health and human services departments, corrections administrations, and procurement divisions leading these solicitations. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no indication of national or multi-state concentration.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or data-quality issues in the source. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code shows recent activity but little substantive relevance to surgical cardiovascular services as traditionally defined under UNSPSC 85494177.
