UNSPSC 85494236: Replacement of mitral valve with zooplastic tissue, transapical, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of mitral valve with zooplastic tissue, 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 02RG38H

UNSPSC 85494236 Replacement of mitral valve with zooplastic tissue, transapical, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—surgical mitral valve replacement—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted against it. The code shows no relevant recent activity. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code are for independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve mitral valve replacement or cardiac surgery. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is not an active procurement category in state and local markets.

The jurisdiction mix in the posted opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no pattern of repeat buying under this code. Absent evidence that state and local governments are actually procuring mitral valve replacements—a specialized cardiac procedure typically funded through Medicaid, insurance claims, or hospital operating budgets rather than direct procurement—this code warrants a skip recommendation for business development purposes in the state and local contracting space.
