UNSPSC 85491113: Dilation of ductus arteriosus with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of ductus arteriosus with drug-eluting intraluminal 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 027R04T

UNSPSC 85491113 Dilation of ductus arteriosus with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a mismatch between the code's medical device scope and the actual work being solicited — the tagged opportunities cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit program administration, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None involve procurement of the specific cardiac device named in the code. State and local governments do not appear to be buying this device through formal competitive procurement under the code at present.

The absence of direct procurement activity for diastolic ductus arteriosus repair devices under this code suggests that state and local health systems, Medicaid programs, and purchasing coalitions either procure such devices through group purchasing organizations, standing contracts with medical device distributors, or consolidated category codes that span broader cardiac device families rather than this single-procedure-specific code. Practitioners evaluating this code should treat it as a watch category with minimal near-term pursuit opportunity and focus business development on family-level or segment-level cardiac device codes that capture higher volume activity across state health systems and regional purchasing cooperatives.
