UNSPSC 85494218: Supplement chordae tendineae with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement chordae tendineae with synthetic 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 02U93JZ

UNSPSC 85494218 Supplement chordae tendineae with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure—implantation of synthetic valve leaflet material via minimally invasive technique. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the surgical procedure nomenclature. Instead, the opportunities reflect a broad mix of medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services. The code does not capture the actual scope of work being solicited by state and local governments under this designation in the recent procurement cycle.

The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement system (City of Phoenix), a municipal employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County)—spanning different jurisdictions and service lines with no repeated buyers. Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure specificity and the medical-services scope of recent opportunities suggests either inconsistent code assignment by issuing bodies or limited relevance of this code to current state and local procurement activity.
