UNSPSC 85491771: Excision of thoracic aorta, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 02BW3ZZ

UNSPSC 85491771 Excision of thoracic aorta, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction—span health care administration, clinical services management, and behavioral health contracting rather than specific surgical procedures or operative services.

The source shows no recent state and local solicitations for thoracic aortic procedures or related surgical interventions. The opportunities recorded under this code reflect administrative and programmatic health services procurement across Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California), issued by county health authorities, boards of commissioners, and fire departments between February and April 2026. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or a broad and atypical assignment of health services contracts to a procedure-specific code. No meaningful activity exists under this code for medical device suppliers, surgical hospitals, or clinical practices offering thoracic aortic intervention.
