UNSPSC 85495204 Removal of implantable heart assist system from heart, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure for explanting ventricular assist devices—does not match any of the six recent state and local solicitations tagged to it in the source material.

The recent opportunities instead cover occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), disability benefit medical evaluations and record summaries (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve implantable heart assist devices or percutaneous endoscopic explantation procedures. The mismatch signals that either the code is being misapplied at the source or state and local buyers are not currently procuring under this code for its intended scope. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local purposes and monitor whether tagging practices correct or activity emerges under more appropriate codes covering medical benefits administration, occupational health services, or surgical care networks.
