UNSPSC 85494190: Dilation of aortic valve with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of aortic valve with intraluminal device, 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 027F0DZ

UNSPSC 85494190 Dilation of aortic valve with intraluminal device, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for cardiac valve dilation, yet the five recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations directly procure cardiac surgical procedures or implantable devices. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing-body level or that state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code as a catch-all for broad healthcare service categories rather than as a marker for specific cardiac interventions.

Recent opportunities come from a geographically dispersed mix of issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California)—spanning pension administration, municipal employee benefits, state transportation workforce health, juvenile detention healthcare, county employee pharmacy benefits, and county hospital temporary staffing. No pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated procurement activity is evident. Given the scope mismatch and the absence of genuine cardiac device or surgical procedure solicitations, this code does not represent an actionable opportunity set for vendors in cardiac surgery, implantable devices, or procedure-specific medical equipment.
