UNSPSC 85491009: Restriction of ductus arteriosus with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of ductus arteriosus 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 02VR0CT

UNSPSC 85491009 Restriction of ductus arteriosus with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific pediatric cardiac surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not solicit for that procedure or related cardiac surgery services. Instead, recent opportunities tagged to this code request independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detainees — none of which involve ductus arteriosus restriction or extraluminal device implantation. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either coding error in the source data or a systematic disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the work state and local bodies are actually buying.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and regional public health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Recent opportunities are concentrated in California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington, Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates ranging from September 25, 2026 through October 20, 2026. Given the absence of cardiac procedure solicitations under this code and the diversity of unrelated health services being requested, this code warrants investigation for data-quality issues before allocating business development resources.
