UNSPSC 85491769: Extirpation of matter from coronary artery, two sites, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from coronary artery, two sites, 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 02C13ZZ

UNSPSC 85491769 Extirpation of matter from coronary artery, two sites, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its medical-procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect coronary intervention or cardiology procedure delivery; instead they span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit management carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing—work that sits outside the narrow clinical intervention this code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or use of a broad cardiac/vascular taxonomy code as a catch-all placeholder by issuing bodies without specialized medical taxonomy expertise.

The six recent opportunities listed span Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office, a city employee benefits function, a state department of transportation, a county juvenile probation department, a county commissioners board, and a county health system—typical of general government procurement. No vendor names, dollar values tied to coronary procedures, or follow-on procurement intent appear in the source. Because the posted opportunities do not align with coronary-intervention delivery, this code warrants close inspection before pursuit; verify whether the tagging reflects actual procurement intent or classification drift.
