UNSPSC 85492001: Dilation of thoracic aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 027W4ZZ

UNSPSC 85492001 Dilation of thoracic aorta, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it show no alignment with its nominal medical-procedure scope. The opportunities are driven by corrections and county health-services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve thoracic aortic procedures or percutaneous endoscopic interventions. The code appears to be a tagging mismatch in the source system and carries no signal for firms pursuing opportunities in vascular or cardiac-surgical service lines.

The five recent opportunities span corrections (Muscogee County, Georgia), county employee health benefits (Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county mental-health innovation (San Mateo County, California), and municipal emergency services (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity is scattered across Georgia, Florida, and California with no clustering. The Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026) and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026) represent the largest contract values and administrative scope, but neither relates to thoracic aorta dilation. Firms evaluating this code for state and local procurement activity should not rely on it as a reliable taxonomy signal and should verify scope directly with issuing bodies rather than code designation.
