UNSPSC 85494240: Replacement of aortic 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 aortic 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 02RF3KH

UNSPSC 85494240 Replacement of aortic valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, transapical, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluations for disability retirement benefits, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency care — none of which involve aortic valve replacement or the specific cardiac surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the tagging systems of the issuing bodies or application of the code as a catch-all for healthcare services broadly. State and local procurement offices issuing under this code include county health systems, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and county commissioners' procurement divisions across multiple jurisdictions.

The geographic spread includes Washington State (Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (Phoenix City Retirement Office), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence for city employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026, anticipated go-live April 1, 2027); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the specific aortic valve replacement procedure it nominally describes.
