UNSPSC 85494244: Replacement of aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, transapical, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of aortic 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 02RF38H

UNSPSC 85494244 Replacement of aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, transapical, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal scope of specialized cardiac surgical procedures. The six most recent state and local solicitations posted under this code—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida between July and September 2026—describe independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve aortic valve replacement or any cardiac surgery procurement.

The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or inactive for its intended purpose at this governance tier. State and local buyers do not appear to be procuring aortic valve replacement services, specialized surgical devices, or related cardiac interventions under this commodity code. Business development professionals evaluating this code should not assume alignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and current state and local demand; alternative codes or market segments (such as vendor management for hospital surgical services or medical device distribution networks) may better reflect actual procurement activity in this space.
