UNSPSC 85494217: Supplement chordae tendineae with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement chordae tendineae with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 02U93KZ

UNSPSC 85494217 Supplement chordae tendineae with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, does not align with actual procurement activity in the public sector. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure—supplementation of heart valve chordae with synthetic tissue via catheter—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical center-of-excellence network management. None of these solicitations involve cardiac device implantation, valve repair materials, or the procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscategorization in the sourcing system or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement more broadly.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal pension systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), with no repeat buyers in the recent block. Geographic activity appears scattered across Washington, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and California with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, seeking physician-directed baseline and periodic health examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations; the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, capped at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (audiology, imaging, surgical, therapy) due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing cardiac surgical supply or implant contracting.
