UNSPSC 85491008: Restriction of left pulmonary artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left pulmonary artery with extraluminal device, open 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 02VR0CZ

UNSPSC 85491008 Restriction of left pulmonary artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align meaningfully with the work actually being procured under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve pulmonary artery procedures or cardiothoracic surgical supplies. The code appears to be a procedural classification from medical billing taxonomy that has been misapplied or cross-tagged in state and local procurement systems; the solicitations themselves target health plan administration, staffing, and evaluation services rather than implantable devices or surgical consumables.

The recent activity cluster includes jurisdictions across multiple states and service types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in the pulmonary artery device or cardiothoracic surgery supply space.
