UNSPSC 85494237: Replacement of mitral valve with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of mitral valve with autologous tissue 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 02RG37Z

UNSPSC 85494237 Replacement of mitral valve with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally designating a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitation activity does not align with this surgical intervention. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve mitral valve replacement or autologous tissue substitution. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local procurement in cardiac surgery, implantable devices, or surgical procedure management.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county commissioners (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington), and municipal employee benefits divisions (Long Beach), with no geographic concentration and no repeat buyers visible across the opportunity set. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either classification error in the state and local posting system or application of this code as a catch-all for health-services solicitations. Firms coding this UNSPSC for business development targeting should verify whether state and local procurement offices are using it intentionally for cardiac procedures or whether the activity reflects data-entry variance at the point of posting.
