UNSPSC 85491901: Restriction of thoracic aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of thoracic aorta, percutaneous endoscopic 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 02VW4ZZ

UNSPSC 85491901 Restriction of thoracic aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this designation involve procurement of healthcare administration, management, and support services—not the clinical procedure the code purports to represent. The posting includes comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these activities involve thoracic aortic restriction procedures or interventional cardiology. This systematic mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or the taxonomy entry itself is incorrectly cataloged in the state and local procurement system.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and California jurisdictions and include county boards of commissioners, a county sheriff's department (operating a correctional facility), county health departments, and a municipal fire department. The Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) seeks a vendor with five years of successful jail or prison healthcare experience and NCCHC accreditation; the current monthly cost is $95,537.71. Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) covers approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical pharmacy spending of $8.7 million annually. Monroe County's Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) serves approximately 2,300 county members. Unless the code assignment reflects a data-entry error or a jurisdiction's internal miscoding practice, this code does not represent an active procurement category in state and local government today.
