UNSPSC 85494353: Replacement of aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 02RF48Z

UNSPSC 85494353 Replacement of aortic valve with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six most recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve aortic valve replacement procedures or cardiac surgical implants. The mismatch between the code's stated clinical procedure and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code is not actively used for its intended purpose in current state and local contracting.

The geographic footprint of the tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), indicating the code assignment appears incidental to these jurisdictions' health services and benefits administration procurements rather than reflecting actual cardiac device or implant purchasing. Practitioners pursuing work under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification directly with issuing bodies, as recent state and local activity provides no actionable market signal for aortic valve or cardiac implant supply.
