UNSPSC 85491900: Arteries-chest heart lungs, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the arteries of the chest and heart and lungs, percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 02.

UNSPSC 85491900 Arteries-chest heart lungs, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical carve-out programs, emergency and inpatient care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve percutaneous endoscopic procedures on chest arteries, lungs, or cardiac structures. The code does not reflect medical device procurement, surgical equipment, or procedure-specific supplies that the UNSPSC taxonomy suggests. State and local issuing bodies using this classification include city retirement offices, county boards of commissioners, county health systems, state departments of transportation, and county juvenile probation departments, indicating wide jurisdictional variety but no clear pattern of repeat buyers under this code.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) focused on disability medical record summary and scheduling of physician examinations for public safety pension benefit determinations. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no real recent activity matching its stated commodity definition; vendors should verify whether this classification reflects active procurement intent or a taxonomy mislabeling before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
