UNSPSC 85494235: Replacement of mitral valve with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of mitral valve with zooplastic tissue, 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 02RG38Z

UNSPSC 85494235 Replacement of mitral valve with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code by state and local jurisdictions involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing services, and surgical benefits carve-out programs—none of which involve mitral valve replacement or cardiac procedures. The disconnect indicates either a cataloging error or that this code is being used as a placeholder by issuing bodies for health-related services that lack a precise UNSPSC match.

The six opportunities recorded span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal workforce planners (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), and special-purpose districts. No clear pattern of repeat buyers emerges from recent activity. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical examination services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal locations (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (initial term January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028). The code shows activity but does not support procurement in its stated product category.
