UNSPSC 85495105: Insertion of external heart assist system into heart, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external heart assist system into 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 02HA3RZ

UNSPSC 85495105 "Insertion of external heart assist system into heart, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve insertion of external heart assist systems. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these health-services solicitations with this code despite the mismatch between the code's clinical procedure definition and the actual work being bought. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal health-benefits departments, state transportation authorities, county juvenile probation departments, county commissioners, and regional health systems, reflecting the broad health-care administration and clinical staffing needs across multiple jurisdictional types.

The code shows no meaningful concentration by geography or issuing body. Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (WSDOT Washington State Ferries), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), with each opportunity addressing distinct health-services needs rather than a coherent procurement category. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 (due October 16, 2026) seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, WSDOT's RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ HHS FY270052 (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties. The code merits a skip unless your firm pursues the specific health-administration or clinical-staffing opportunities named above, as the code itself does not reliably signal cardiac device procurement.
