UNSPSC 85494329: Supplement aortic valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement aortic valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 02UF4KZ

UNSPSC 85494329 Supplement aortic valve with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve aortic valve implants or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The code's nominal scope targets a narrow, high-acuity surgical intervention; the tagged solicitations reflect broad healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management work that does not align with implantable device procurement or cardiac surgical services.

The absence of device-specific or cardiac surgery-related recent opportunities suggests either that state and local government procurement of aortic valve devices occurs through federal cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as GSA or state health purchasing consortia using manufacturer agreements) rather than open RFP channels, or that the code was applied to these opportunities in error. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether target customers procure aortic valve implants through state purchasing cooperatives, GPO arrangements, or hospital group purchasing organizations rather than through standalone RFPs, and confirm actual procurement patterns with state health department purchasing directors and large hospital systems before committing resources to pursue work under this Commodity code.
