UNSPSC 85494224: Replacement of pulmonary valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, transapical, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of pulmonary valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, transapical, 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 02RH3KH

UNSPSC 85494224 Replacement of pulmonary valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, transapical, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve administrative healthcare services, occupational medicine, employee benefits management, and staffing coordination, none of which involve pulmonary valve replacement or interventional cardiology procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the procurement database or that this highly specialized cardiac surgical procedure code rarely appears in state and local contracting activity.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Ferries), county health and probation agencies (Harris County, Collier County), with the geographic spread concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. No recent opportunities directly soliciting pulmonary valve replacement devices, implants, or related cardiac interventional services appear in the source material. State and local procurement activity under this code, if it exists, remains undocumented in the recent record.
