UNSPSC 85494233: Replacement of mitral valve with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of mitral valve 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 02RG3JZ

UNSPSC 85494233 Replacement of mitral valve with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve mitral valve procedures or percutaneous cardiac intervention. State and local procurement systems appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a catch-all category for healthcare service procurement rather than as a descriptor of actual medical device or surgical implant purchasing.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara), county governments (Collier County, Harris County), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), reflecting fragmentation across health agencies rather than concentration. Recent opportunities span Washington, Florida, California, Arizona, and Texas. Without clear alignment between the code's nominal definition and the work actually being solicited, this code does not present a coherent procurement category for vendors seeking to pursue state and local business in cardiac devices or implantable medical equipment.
