UNSPSC 85494901: Revision of external heart assist system in heart, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external heart assist system in heart, external 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 02WAXRZ

UNSPSC 85494901 Revision of external heart assist system in heart, external approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with its nominal scope of cardiac device revision. The code shows no recent state and local solicitations for external heart assist system work; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency healthcare services for detained youth. These services fall outside the medical device revision category the code describes, indicating either a classification mismatch in the underlying procurement systems or a significant divergence between the code's intended scope and how it is being applied in practice.

The issuing bodies across the six recent opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county boards and offices (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and city agencies (Phoenix, Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in a single jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, $750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), and the Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of genuine external cardiac device work in the posted record, bidders should verify code assignment and actual procurement intent with issuing offices before investing in pursuit strategy under this designation.
