UNSPSC 85491989: Excision of right pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 02BQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85491989 Excision of right pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and pediatric emergency medical services — none of which involve pulmonary artery excision. The issuing bodies reflect the typical state and local health-purchasing mix: counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state-level agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries). This pattern indicates a possible tagging or classification error rather than genuine procurement activity under the code's stated commodity scope.

Recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. These opportunities reflect administrative health services, occupational health compliance, and staffing solutions rather than surgical procedures. The code appears to have been miscoded at the commodity level, and business development professionals should verify accurate UNSPSC classification before pursuing work in this category.
