UNSPSC 85494331: Supplement aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, 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 02UF48Z

UNSPSC 85494331 Supplement aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized cardiac surgical supplies and services. The recent opportunities posted under this code, however, show little alignment with the code's nominal scope — the five most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support mental health services, and fire department medical director services, none of which involve aortic valve implants or percutaneous endoscopic cardiac procedures.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for businesses pursuing cardiac device or surgical-services work under state and local procurement. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the opportunities actually tagged to it suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that this particular Commodity code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns in cardiac surgical supplies and services. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for aortic valve procurement before allocating resources to opportunities under this code.
