UNSPSC 85494352: Replacement of aortic valve with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of aortic valve with synthetic 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 02RF4JZ

UNSPSC 85494352 Replacement of aortic valve with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs and Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the procurement or delivery of aortic valve replacement procedures or related cardiac implants. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or administrative tagging drift; the code does not appear to capture actual state and local purchasing patterns for the procedure it names.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a municipal retirement system (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits office (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County), a county human resources consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Recent opportunities with identifiable response dates cluster in late September and early October 2026, with the City of Phoenix RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) due October 7, and the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9. Without evidence that state and local governments are actually soliciting aortic valve replacement services or related cardiac devices under this code, pursuing opportunities tagged with this UNSPSC number carries significant risk of scope misalignment.
