UNSPSC 85491838: Dilation of coronary artery, two sites 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, two sites 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 027134Z

UNSPSC 85491838 Dilation of coronary artery, two sites with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities posted against it. The code describes a clinical procedure (percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents), yet the recent solicitations tagged to this code are entirely unrelated to interventional cardiology or device placement—they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care center-of-excellence networks, and emergency services for detained youth. These opportunities involve health services procurement, administration, and staffing, not the delivery or supply of the specific cardiac procedure named in the code. This classification mismatch suggests either a data quality issue in the source's code assignment or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the state and local procurement system's use of the code.

The geographic spread of the opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentrated pattern. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county boards of commissioners, state departments, and county health systems—a diverse mix of jurisdictions. Given that the recent opportunities show no substantive relationship to coronary artery dilation procedures, this code does not represent a viable procurement category for vendors pursuing state and local contracts in interventional cardiology, device supply, or related clinical services. The mismatch warrants verification of the code assignment before pursuing opportunities posted under this classification.
