UNSPSC 85491061: Release left pulmonary artery, 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 02NR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85491061 Release left pulmonary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect healthcare services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with surgical intervention for pulmonary artery release. State and local governments do not appear to solicit this procedure through the procurement channels that generate public bid notices.

The opportunities in the block appear to be mislabeled against this code. Healthcare services procurement in state and local government does occur regularly across corrections departments, county human resources and benefits functions, and fire departments, but those activities belong in family and class codes covering health plan administration, occupational health services, and medical staffing — not in a commodity code for a single cardiothoracic surgical procedure. If you are pursuing state and local healthcare services contracts, verify the relevant UNSPSC codes through the issuing jurisdiction's procurement portal or directly with their purchasing office rather than relying on this code's recent tag history.
