Theres not one in rules but some idea how I'd make it work.
a) Say it would have set amount of heightening and level restricted as other rods.
b) Or allow it to have charges per day, like 9 charges that can be used to heighten spell (lvl 1-9) 1-3 lvls each lvl draining 1 point (which would make it greater rod of heightening [+3])

Few ways i could think how to price it:

1) Feat costs 10k(?), school focus on all schools, 3 uses per day, some mod if not usable on all levels (ie 1-3 / 1-6). Restricts to preset heightening though and might be bit costy though. Could be lowered to make it: Lesser Rod of Heightened Evocation +3 (which would then heighten only evocs +3 lvls if lvl 1-3)

2) Compare any other metamagic feat of similar lvl adjustment and price it accordingly. (suggested)

Preqs: caster lvl 18, craft rod, heighten spell feat

The problem with creating a Rod of Heighten Spell is that the feat doesn't have a set cost in spell levels. Empower is +2, Quicken is +4. Heighten is....whatever you want it to be, with a sliding-scale effect based on the cost paid.

A DM might create a Metamagic Rod of Heighten Spell by assigning it a set level bump, then pricing it accordingly. For instance, you might have a Rod of Heighten Spell (+2) or a Rod of Heighten Spell (+4). Then each Rod would have the standard three versions--Lesser, Standard, and Greater.

And then these would all have to be priced.

I think there is something similar (could be the UA spontaneous metamagic rule), where Heighten was simply put at +2 (IIRC), and always adds +2 spell levels then.

I agree that it would have to be premade at different Level adjustments, and then priced accordingly.

I like these rules a lot, it is just the pricing that going to have to take some time to figure out.
