UNSPSC 85492612: Revision of intraluminal device in heart, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of intraluminal device in heart, external 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 02WAXDZ

UNSPSC 85492612 Revision of intraluminal device in heart, external approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure — revision of an intraluminal device via external approach — yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve cardiac devices, intraluminal revisions, or the surgical procedure the code name describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental divergence between the code's technical definition and how procurement systems are tagging health services and benefits administration work.

The recent opportunities show activity across diverse issuing bodies — city retirement offices (Phoenix), city health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile probation (Harris County, Texas), county health systems (Santa Clara, California), and county benefits administrations (Collier, Florida) — but none of the work maps to the cardiac device revision scope. Absent opportunities that actually solicit cardiac intraluminal device procurement or revision services, this code presents minimal decision-relevant information for vendors in device supply or cardiac surgical services. Firms pursuing state and local cardiac device or cardiac procedure work should verify their target opportunities against corrected UNSPSC codes rather than relying on this category's current classification.
