This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monitoring device into 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 02HR02Z

UNSPSC 85491073 Insertion of monitoring device into left pulmonary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring occupational and clinical health services, medical record management, and temporary healthcare staffing rather than the procedural intervention the code nominally names. The mismatch between the code's technical surgical descriptor and the actual work being bought reflects either classification drift or misapplication of the taxonomy to broader health-service categories. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include city pension and retirement boards, county health systems, county probation departments, state transportation departments, and municipal employee benefits divisions—a mix of health administration, benefits management, and workforce health oversight functions rather than surgical procedure provision.

Recent opportunities show purchasing concentrated in occupational health surveillance, medical evaluation services for benefits determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary healthcare staffing, and specialty surgery carve-out programs. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit and Center of Excellence management for municipal employee health plans (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical roles (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual health-service procurement work represented in recent solicitations, practitioners should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this commodity.
