UNSPSC 85492004: Dilation of left pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left 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 027R4ZZ

UNSPSC 85492004 Dilation of left pulmonary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—describe administrative healthcare delivery, occupational health screening, and staffing coordination services that do not align with the code's nominal scope of a specific interventional cardiology procedure. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities.

State and local procurement under this code shows no meaningful activity grounded in what the UNSPSC commodity actually describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity (a percutaneous endoscopic dilation procedure for a named anatomical site) and the broad administrative and occupational health services appearing in recent solicitations suggests systematic miscoding rather than genuine demand for this procedure line at the state and local level. Pursuit of opportunities under this code is not warranted without clarification of the coding error.
