UNSPSC 85491823: Dilation of coronary artery, four or more sites, bifurcation, with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of coronary artery, four or more sites, bifurcation, with drug-eluting intraluminal device, 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 273346

UNSPSC 85491823 Dilation of coronary artery, four or more sites, bifurcation, with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure code from clinical taxonomy; state and local governments do not directly procure invasive cardiac interventions as line items through general procurement channels. Recent opportunities posted under this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of cardiac dilation procedures with drug-eluting stents. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source system or an artifact of how health system procurement offices tag medical services contracts using misaligned taxonomy.

Geographic representation across the recent opportunities includes Washington State (Washington State Ferries occupational surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) with a pre-bid conference on August 31, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental mismatch between the code name and the work actually being solicited, business development professionals should verify the correct Commodity or Class code before pursuing opportunities in this category.
