UNSPSC 85494251: Repair chordae tendineae, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair chordae tendineae, 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 02Q93ZZ

UNSPSC 85494251 Repair chordae tendineae, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this taxonomy do not align with cardiac interventions — they span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve percutaneous chordae tendineae repair or other cardiac surgery services.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual opportunities it tags in state and local procurement suggests either a taxonomy classification error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or that this Commodity code is not actively used to solicit cardiac surgical services from state and local governments. No representative opportunities in cardiovascular surgery, cardiac intervention, or hospital-based surgical services appear in the recent activity block. Given the disconnect, firms pursuing work under this code should verify with prospective issuing bodies whether they intend to use this classification for cardiac services procurement or whether a different UNSPSC tier or code better captures their actual buying needs.
