UNSPSC 85491965: Insertion of monitoring device into thoracic aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monitoring device into 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 02HW42Z

UNSPSC 85491965 Insertion of monitoring device into thoracic aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific invasive cardiac procedure—does not align with the recent solicitations tagged to it. The opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve insertion of monitoring devices into the thoracic aorta or percutaneous endoscopic approaches to cardiac intervention.

The mismatch between the code's procedural title and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a misapplication of the commodity code to health services procurement that falls outside its intended scope. State and local health systems, counties, and pension boards are using this code to solicit broad occupational health services, medical evaluation administration, and specialty care management—activities that would typically map to higher-level health services or staffing families rather than a specific cardiac procedure code. If your firm pursues state and local health services contracts, verify the actual scope against the RFP document itself rather than relying on UNSPSC tagging alone.
