UNSPSC 85494268: Dilation of tricuspid valve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 027J3ZZ

UNSPSC 85494268, Dilation of tricuspid valve, percutaneous approach (Commodity), shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure code and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency detention healthcare — none of which involve tricuspid valve dilation or cardiac interventional procedures. This code mismatch indicates either a classification error in state and local procurement systems or a misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy to healthcare service contracting at the jurisdictional level. State and local buyers posting these opportunities are using medical procurement terminology that does not map cleanly to the clinical procedure taxonomy.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability evaluations; RFP due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical procedure carve-out network, RFP due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing pool, RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty services, RFI due September 25, 2026). Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, county human resources and purchasing divisions, and municipal retirement offices. No state or local agency has recently solicited tricuspid valve dilation services or any comparable interventional cardiac procedure under this code, and activity appears driven by administrative healthcare contracting rather than clinical procedure procurement.
