UNSPSC 85494262: Excision of tricuspid valve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of tricuspid 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 02BJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85494262 Excision of tricuspid valve, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy do not solicit surgical services, device procurement, or clinical procedural capacity. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and surgical benefit administration—none of which involve tricuspid valve excision or percutaneous cardiac intervention. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either a data-classification error or use of the code as a catch-all category within state and local health systems for medical and healthcare administration services broadly rather than procedural specifications.

Activity appears concentrated among county and municipal health systems and pension boards rather than traditional hospital procurement. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (deadline April 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach solicited surgical benefit carve-out management (due October 7, 2026). The source includes no evidence of procedure-specific clinical procurement, device solicitations, or vendor competition for cardiac surgical capabilities under this code, making it unsuitable for firms pursuing state and local surgical service contracts or implantable-device placement.
