UNSPSC 85494245: Replacement of aortic valve with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of aortic 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 02RF37Z

UNSPSC 85494245, Replacement of aortic valve with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve aortic valve replacement procedures or cardiac surgical intervention of any kind. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure code drawn from medical billing taxonomy) and the actual procurement activity show no meaningful alignment.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the diverse administrative healthcare services being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy collision where this Commodity code has been incorrectly applied to healthcare management and staffing solicitations. No state or local government procurement activity in the source material involves procurement of cardiac surgical procedures, implantable devices, or related clinical services under this code. The code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
