UNSPSC 85494349: Replacement of mitral valve with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of mitral 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 02RG48Z

UNSPSC 85494349 Replacement of mitral valve with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specialized surgical procedure—replacement of a mitral heart valve using zooplastic (animal-derived) tissue via percutaneous endoscopic technique—yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect procurement of that surgical service. Instead, the opportunities capture independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's stated scope. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a catchall for health services contracting broadly, rather than for the narrowly defined cardiac surgical procedure the code nominally represents.

The issuing bodies in the recent sample include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal HR departments (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California). Geographic concentration spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without additional opportunities specifically soliciting mitral valve replacement procedures or vendors for that surgical intervention, the code presents no clear business development signal for firms pursuing state and local contracts in cardiac device or surgical services.
