UNSPSC 85494183: Dilation of pulmonary valve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of pulmonary 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 027H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494183 Dilation of pulmonary valve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual healthcare procurement activity found in recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the opportunities posted under it concern institutional healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, behavioral health peer support, and medical directorship — none of which involve cardiac valve dilation. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the services actually solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC category assignment and purchasing activity that would make this code unreliable for tracking genuine cardiac surgical services procurement.

Issuing bodies across Florida, Georgia, and California have posted five recent opportunities under this code between late February and mid-April 2026, but the work described is unrelated to pulmonary valve procedures: Muscogee County Prison (Georgia) sought comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services in an RFP due May 15, 2026; Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual costs around $8.7 million; Monroe County (Florida) solicited virtual primary care and 24/7 urgent care services effective October 1, 2026; San Mateo County (California) is piloting a $580,000 peer support program for peer workers under Mental Health Services Act funding; and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) sought a physician to serve as EMS Medical Director. The code shows no consistent activity that would guide pursuit decisions for vendors with cardiac surgical expertise or materials relevant to valve replacement. Given the disconnect, this code warrants clarification with the issuing procurement offices before allocating business development resources.
