This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external heart assist system in heart, percutaneous 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 02WA3RZ

UNSPSC 85495101 Revision of external heart assist system in heart, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's technical surgical specification does not match the recent opportunities posted under it, which instead reflect purchasing for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal and county employee health plans.

The limited recent opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, with issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code appears to be a mislabeling or miscategorization by the posting entities rather than an active commodity market for the heart-assist system work the code nominally describes, and the recent activity does not reflect procurement in that specialty area.
