UNSPSC 85492002: Dilation of thoracic aorta with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of thoracic aorta with intraluminal device, 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 027W4DZ

UNSPSC 85492002 Dilation of thoracic aorta with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific interventional cardiology procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention medical care—none of which involve thoracic aorta dilation procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source system or use of the code as a catch-all for medical services outside its stated scope.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability evaluation services), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs for public employees), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara counties), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract and October 16, 2026 proposal deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 deadline; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052, a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing with an October 7, 2026 deadline. The code shows limited decision relevance for vendors focused on interventional cardiovascular procedures; pursuit should be conditional on confirming that a specific opportunity's actual scope aligns with provider capabilities rather than relying on the code classification.
