UNSPSC 85491970: Insertion of pressure sensor monitoring device into left pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of pressure sensor monitoring device into left pulmonary artery, 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 02HR40Z

UNSPSC 85491970 Insertion of pressure sensor monitoring device into left pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific cardiac procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the procedure's nominal scope. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve insertion of pressure sensor monitoring devices or pulmonary artery procedures. The mismatch suggests this code may have been applied inconsistently or erroneously in the underlying procurement system, and the code shows little relevant recent activity directly tied to its stated clinical service line.

Activity under the code appears limited to a single state-level issuing body—the Washington State Department of Transportation—which solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and an apparent successful bidder announcement targeted for October 20, 2026. The remaining five recent opportunities reflect municipal health benefit administration (City of Phoenix disability pension medical evaluations, City of Long Beach surgical carve-out benefits), county-level public health services (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty and emergency care for detained youth; Collier County pharmacy benefit management; Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing), and represent healthcare procurement activity broadly rather than the specific procedure identified in the code's name. Given the absence of relevant procurement signals aligned with pressure sensor implantation or specialized cardiac device procedures, this code warrants monitoring for corrected tagging and legitimate future opportunities rather than active pursuit at this time.
