UNSPSC 85495100: Ventricular assistance heart transplantation, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on ventricular assistance and heart transplantation with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 02.

UNSPSC 85495100 Ventricular assistance heart transplantation, percutaneous approach is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal alignment with this narrow cardiac surgical scope. The four opportunities on record—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—span healthcare administration, behavioral health, primary care delivery, and EMS oversight rather than ventricular assist devices or transplantation procedures. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for healthcare services that do not fit more specific taxonomies, or the code assignment reflects data-entry error rather than accurate classification.

The issuing bodies include county government purchasing divisions (Collier County, Monroe County, Muscogee County), a county health department (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). Geographic representation spans Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica). Recent opportunities posted between February and April 2026 include Columbus Consolidated Government's inmate medical services RFP (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP (due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director RFP (due October 16, 2025). The code shows little genuine recent activity in state and local ventricular assistance or heart transplantation procurement—the code assignment does not reflect the actual work being solicited.
