UNSPSC 85491064: Occlusion of ductus arteriosus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of ductus arteriosus, 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 02LR0ZT

UNSPSC 85491064, Occlusion of ductus arteriosus, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute surgical procedures for patent ductus arteriosus or related cardiac interventions. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification or tagging error in the state and local data sources rather than genuine demand for ductus arteriosus occlusion procedures under this code.

The opportunities that do appear span a diverse issuing-body mix including city and county health benefits administrators (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara County), a county juvenile justice entity (Harris County), and a county benefits consortium (Collier County), spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No single jurisdiction appears more than once, and the work is fragmented across pension medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, employee surgical networks, pharmacy administration, detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — categories that do not correspond to the code's surgical procedure designation. Recent responses are due across October 2026 and January-April 2027. The code does not support a focused procurement strategy and warrants review of classification accuracy before pursuit.
