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 027P0ZZ

UNSPSC 85491117 Dilation of pulmonary trunk, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for congenital heart defects, but the recent opportunities tagged under it—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—are administrative healthcare contracting and occupational health services that fall outside the scope of surgical interventions on the pulmonary trunk. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or that the tagging in the source does not reflect the actual work being solicited.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not support a pursue recommendation at this time. The recent opportunities named represent health plan administration, employee benefits management, and occupational wellness services—none of which align with the cardiovascular surgical scope the code describes. A business development professional should flag this code as dormant or mistagged in the source system and focus procurement efforts on health administration and benefits management codes that correctly describe the actual work state and local buyers are undertaking.
