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 02QF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85494250 Repair aortic valve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom tier of the taxonomy; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities do not reflect procurement activity aligned with this code's nominal scope. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac interventional procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code by state and local procurement offices span institutional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve aortic valve repair or percutaneous cardiac procedures. This mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical definition and how it is being applied in practice. The opportunities do show genuine state and local health-related purchasing activity, but they fall outside the scope of what this Commodity code is designed to represent.

The recent activity includes Columbus Consolidated Government's request for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services solicitation (RFP 25-8414), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services request (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support pilot program (RFP 2025-007), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director contract. These opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and California and cover counties, cities, and special health agencies rather than healthcare provider networks or cardiac intervention centers. Given the systematic mismatch between the code's stated purpose and what is actually being solicited, firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the accuracy of the UNSPSC assignment before investing in bid preparation.
