UNSPSC 85494367: Release aortic valve, 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 02NF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85494367 Release aortic valve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical product definition—a surgical valve implant procedure—does not match the nature of opportunities currently tagged under it in state and local databases.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span healthcare administration and management services broadly: inmate medical and pharmacy services for county corrections facilities, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve procurement or supply of aortic valve devices, implants, or related cardiothoracic surgical products. The issuing bodies—Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California)—are counties and municipal agencies procuring health services contracts and managed care administration rather than medical devices or surgical implants. The mismatch between the code's intended commodity (a specific cardiac valve product) and the actual work being bought (healthcare services, benefits administration, and medical direction) suggests the code may be incorrectly applied in state and local procurement systems or that these opportunities were tagged in error. No recent state or local opportunities reflect actual procurement of percutaneous aortic valve devices, specialty cardiac supplies, or related surgical equipment under this code.
