UNSPSC 85494243: Replacement of aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of aortic 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 02RF38Z

UNSPSC 85494243 Replacement of aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tracked under this taxonomy. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span medical surveillance and occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, and specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which involve aortic valve replacement procedures or cardiac implant devices. The code appears to be misapplied to general healthcare procurement rather than the specific cardiac surgical procedure its name describes.

State and local issuers are city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county commissioners' offices rather than healthcare facilities or medical device procurement entities. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) focused on disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Collier County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic distribution of recent activity includes Arizona, Washington, Florida, and California. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for cardiac implant or surgical device vendors.
