UNSPSC 85491772: Excision of left pulmonary artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left pulmonary artery, 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 02BR3ZZ

UNSPSC 85491772 Excision of left pulmonary artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no actual procurement activity aligned with that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve pulmonary artery procedures. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch; the opportunities are being solicited by health system purchasing offices, county human resources divisions, municipal retirement boards, and state transportation agencies seeking broad-based healthcare services and staffing arrangements rather than a narrow surgical intervention.

Geographic activity appears across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), though the opportunities do not represent homogeneous procurement under a single clinical code. The Washington State Ferries issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) requiring examinations across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 specialty categories (due October 7, 2026). The City of Long Beach RFP targets surgical carve-out and Centers of Excellence networks for specific procedures including orthopedic and cardiac care (due October 7, 2026). This code does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity in its stated clinical scope; business development professionals should verify whether opportunities are being misclassified by issuing bodies or whether the code assignment itself requires clarification before committing resources.
