UNSPSC 85491748: Insertion of infusion device into thoracic aorta, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into thoracic aorta, 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 02HW33Z

UNSPSC 85491748 Insertion of infusion device into thoracic aorta, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific invasive cardiovascular procedure—placement of an infusion catheter into the thoracic aorta via percutaneous access—a narrow clinical intervention that state and local governments do not directly procure as a standalone service line or product. The recent solicitations tagged to this code instead reflect broader healthcare service procurement: inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care delivery for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and a fire department medical director contract. None of these opportunities involve procurement of the thoracic aorta infusion device or procedure itself; the code assignment appears to reflect a misclassification in the state and local procurement system. The opportunities are distributed across Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California municipal (Santa Monica), reflecting diverse issuing bodies—county commissioners, county health departments, county corrections, county fire departments, and county behavioral health agencies—but no actual demand for the procedure named in the code.

State and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 85491748 does not align with the code's clinical scope. No RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for infusion devices, catheter supplies, or percutaneous thoracic aorta access procedures appears in the recent opportunity set. The misclassification signals that either the tagging mechanism in the state and local procurement database has incorrectly assigned healthcare management and staffing contracts to a procedure-specific medical device code, or the source data reflects a system-wide taxonomy mismatch. Business development professionals evaluating this code should assume the code is currently inactive for state and local buying and verify procurement categorization through state purchasing offices directly before allocating pursuit resources.
