UNSPSC 85494255: Release aortic valve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release aortic valve, 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 02NF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85494255 Release aortic valve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cardiovascular implant procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show little activity directly aligned with that scope. The few records in the database reflect healthcare service procurement by county and municipal bodies—including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve the procurement or implantation of percutaneous aortic valve release devices. The code appears to be a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual healthcare services being solicited in the state and local market.

Recent activity includes an RFP from the Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (Muscogee County Prison, Georgia) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026, a Collier County, Florida RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending around $8.7 million, a Monroe County, Florida RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services, and a San Mateo County, California RFP for mental health peer support services valued at $580,000 over three years. These solicitations span health services administration and clinical staffing rather than medical device procurement. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being purchased, this code shows minimal relevance to vendors supplying percutaneous cardiovascular devices or related implantable medical equipment to state and local governments.
