UNSPSC 85491973: Insertion of monitoring device into right pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monitoring device into right 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 02HQ42Z

UNSPSC 85491973, Insertion of monitoring device into right pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve insertion of monitoring devices into pulmonary arteries or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual work state and local governments are buying under it suggests either tagging error in the procurement system or fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how this particular jurisdiction classifies healthcare services.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). If the code is being used to tag healthcare administration and staffing rather than surgical device insertion, activity appears driven by public employee health programs, occupational safety compliance, and benefits administration rather than clinical procedure procurement.
