UNSPSC 85491709: Restriction of ductus arteriosus with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of ductus arteriosus 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 02VR3CT

UNSPSC 85491709 Restriction of ductus arteriosus with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a pediatric cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical care-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve ductus arteriosus restriction or cardiothoracic device implantation. The mismatch suggests a data tagging error in one or more of the underlying procurement systems. State and local procurement shows no verifiable activity under this code's intended scope.

The represented opportunities instead span health system administration and occupational health services across different issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention medical services), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for its nominal purpose and verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment before pursuing opportunities currently tagged under 85491709.
