UNSPSC 85494246: Replacement of aortic valve with autologous 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 autologous 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 02RF37H

UNSPSC 85494246 Replacement of aortic valve with autologous tissue substitute, transapical, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity shown in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the six state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 tagged under this code procure occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical benefits administration, emergency and specialty healthcare services for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve aortic valve replacement procedures or interventional cardiology. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services acquisitions that fall outside traditional medical procedure categorization.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipalities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits carve-out administration), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing). Geographic activity centers on California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (Puget Sound region), Texas (Houston area), and Florida (Naples area). Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum five-year value of $750,000 and response due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a two-year term and optional five additional one-year extensions, with response due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ HHS FY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (audiology, radiology, therapy services, and others), with proposals due October 7, 2026.
