UNSPSC 85495200: Ventricular assistance heart transplantation, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on ventricular assistance and heart transplantation with percutaneous endoscopic 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 85495200 Ventricular assistance heart transplantation, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Class code, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The four most recent solicitations under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve ventricular assistance, heart transplantation, or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. This disconnect suggests either persistent miscoding in the issuing agencies' procurement systems or that state and local buyers are using this UNSPSC category as a catch-all for health services that do not map cleanly to specialized cardiac-procedure codes. The actual work being solicited spans jail and prison healthcare administration, employee pharmacy benefits, virtual care delivery, mental health peer support, and emergency medical services direction across county and municipal health systems.

Issuing bodies include Muscogee County (Columbus Consolidated Government) in Georgia, Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California, and the Santa Monica Fire Department in California. The Muscogee County Prison contract (RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026) calls for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services; Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) is seeking pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spend; Monroe County (RFP via Bonfire, due April 16, 2026) is procuring virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members; San Mateo County (RFP 2025-007, due July 2, 2025) is funding a $580,000 Mental Health Services Act peer support pilot; and Santa Monica Fire Department (RFP 455, due October 16, 2025) is recruiting a physician for EMS medical direction. Activity concentrates in Florida and California, with isolated solicitations from Georgia and California municipalities. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are noted in the posted opportunities, and local business preference is mentioned only in the Collier County RFP.
