UNSPSC 85492003: Dilation of thoracic aorta with drug-eluting 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 drug-eluting 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 027W44Z

UNSPSC 85492003 Dilation of thoracic aorta with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure and implantable device, yet the most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code solicit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgery benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare—none of which involve thoracic aorta procedures or drug-eluting devices. This appears to be a systematic tagging mismatch within state and local procurement databases rather than evidence of actual buying under the code's nominal scope.

The recent opportunities show instead that state and local governments are actively purchasing broader medical and health services: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is hiring independent medical evaluators for disability determinations ($750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach is seeking Centers of Excellence carve-out managers for surgical procedures including orthopedic and cardiac interventions; the Washington State Department of Transportation is contracting for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is gathering information on emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth; the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing; and Collier County is managing pharmacy benefit administration for approximately 7,200 covered lives. These opportunities are spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal health systems, county human resources divisions, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice departments. The code as currently tagged carries little actionable signal for vendors pursuing state and local medical or surgical device contracts.
