UNSPSC 85492007: Dilation of ductus arteriosus with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of ductus arteriosus 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 027R4DT

UNSPSC 85492007, Dilation of ductus arteriosus with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve no interventional cardiology procedures, device placement, or fetal or neonatal cardiac intervention of any kind. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification from a clinical taxonomy that state and local procurement systems have incorrectly applied to broad administrative healthcare and staffing solicitations.

No relevant recent opportunities exist under this code. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data entry error in the opportunities themselves or a systematic misalignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and the way state and local governments are tagging their healthcare administration and staffing contracts. Business development professionals should confirm code alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing work under this designation.
