UNSPSC 85491069: Insertion of monitoring device into thoracic aorta, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monitoring device into thoracic aorta, 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 02HW02Z

UNSPSC 85491069 Insertion of monitoring device into thoracic aorta, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving thoracic aortic implantation, but the recent solicitations tagged under this code do not align with the procedure's scope. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve thoracic aortic device insertion or related medical device procurement.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) are among the recent issuing bodies. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services posted September 16, 2026 with responses due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services posted August 25, 2026 with responses due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services posted July 7, 2026 with responses due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be misapplied to administrative and occupational health services rather than to surgical implant procurement, limiting decision relevance for vendors targeting thoracic aortic device supply or related surgical-device categories.
