UNSPSC 85494395: Destruction of aortic valve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 025F4ZZ

UNSPSC 85494395 Destruction of aortic valve, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a disconnect between the code's nominal scope—a specific cardiac surgical procedure—and the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations do not reflect procurement of aortic valve destruction services or any percutaneous endoscopic cardiac procedures. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these align with the code's stated commodity definition. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), representing a mix of administrative, corrections, and health-system purchasers.

Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington across the most recent postings. The Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring medical record summary and independent medical examination coordination services for public safety pension disability determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach is seeking proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence, with responses due October 7, 2026 and contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a two-year initial term with up to five one-year extensions. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope of aortic valve destruction procedures.
