UNSPSC 85494357: Replacement of chordae tendineae with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of chordae tendineae 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 02R948Z

UNSPSC 85494357 Replacement of chordae tendineae with zooplastic tissue, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure using zooplastic replacement tissue, yet the six recent opportunities tagged to it—including independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—are unrelated to that narrow procedural scope. None of the opportunities involve cardiac valve replacement, zooplastic tissue procurement, or percutaneous endoscopic cardiac intervention.

The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity suggests the code is either misapplied in the source data or represents administrative miscategorization by the issuing bodies. State and local procurement professionals should verify the code classification before pursuing work under this designation, as the opportunities present span healthcare administration, staffing coordination, and occupational medicine rather than implantable device procurement or specialized cardiac procedures. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal benefits programs, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county probation departments.
