UNSPSC 85491708: Restriction of left pulmonary artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left pulmonary artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous 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 02VR3CZ

UNSPSC 85491708 Restriction of left pulmonary artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specialized cardiothoracic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve pulmonary artery restriction or extraluminal devices. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied by one or more issuing bodies, or the dataset contains categorization errors. State and local procurement offices do not routinely solicit restricted pulmonary artery procedures directly; such procedures are purchased as components of broader health benefit contracts, insurance plans, or facility-based clinical services rather than as discrete line-item commodities.

The issuing bodies in the source include city retirement offices, municipal benefits administrators, state transportation departments, county detention authorities, county commissioners, and county health systems — representing diverse jurisdictions across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the opportunities under this code code do not reflect its stated clinical scope, no meaningful pattern emerges for vendor pursuit. Bidders should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before responding; answering an RFP or RFQ labeled under this code without confirming the actual scope invites proposal rejection or wasted effort.
