UNSPSC 85491773: Excision of right pulmonary artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 02BQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85491773 Excision of right pulmonary artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with that clinical scope. The solicitations posted against this code instead reflect a mix of occupational health services, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence network management. State and local governments are actually using this code tag for occupational and employee health program services — medical surveillance for state transportation workers, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, specialty surgical carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, and general temporary clinical staffing — rather than for discrete surgical procedures. This mismatch between the code's nominal meaning and its actual procurement use suggests either data-entry error in the tagging systems or a broader classification problem that obscures the true commodity family these buyers are targeting.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Recent opportunities have appeared in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out networks for employee health plans (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the Santa Clara County Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in thirteen clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's recent activity does not support pursuit under its stated surgical-procedure definition; prospecting should focus instead on the occupational health and employee benefit program categories these buyers are actually contracting.
