UNSPSC 85494186: Dilation of mitral valve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of 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 027G0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494186 Dilation of mitral valve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities posted across Florida, Georgia, and California—including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—are healthcare administration, staffing, and program management procurements that do not involve the cardiac surgical procedure named in the code. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification misapplied to administrative healthcare contracting rather than a meaningful taxonomy entry for state and local government purchasing.

No relevant recent state and local solicitations exist under this code. The discrepancy between the code's medical-procedure label and the administrative healthcare services actually being procured suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged or a systemic misclassification. State and local procurement in healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing does occur regularly and in significant volume—as evidenced by the recent RFPs for county pharmacy benefit management (approximately $8.7 million annually) and inmate healthcare services ($95,537.71 monthly)—but those activities fall under different UNSPSC Family and Class codes. Practitioners evaluating this code should verify the correct taxonomy entry for the specific service line under pursuit rather than relying on this code.
