This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external heart assist system into heart, open 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 02HA0RZ

UNSPSC 85495005 Insertion of external heart assist system into heart, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged with this code describe independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and juvenile detention medical services — none of which involve the insertion of external heart assist systems or cardiac device implantation. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) does not align with what state and local purchasing offices are actually buying under this tag, suggesting either mislabeling in the source data or extremely limited use of this commodity code in the public sector.

No solicitation in the recent-opportunities block requests cardiac device implantation services, cardiac surgery, or related procedural capabilities. The issuing bodies span county retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice (Harris County), and county benefits administration (Collier County), but none are seeking the work this code nominally describes. Pursue alternative codes or direct vendor outreach to cardiac surgery programs and hospital procurement offices if your firm supplies external heart assist systems to state or local medical facilities.
