UNSPSC 85493102: Insertion of defibrillator lead into left ventricle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of defibrillator lead into left ventricle, open 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 02HL0KZ

UNSPSC 85493102 Insertion of defibrillator lead into left ventricle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows negligible recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code consist of independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve insertion of cardiac devices. The misalignment suggests either that state and local procurement offices are applying this cardiovascular-procedure code as a catch-all taxonomy for healthcare contracting activity broadly, or that the tagged opportunities do not reflect the code's intended use in practice. No state or local issuing body appears in the recent record soliciting defibrillator lead insertion, cardiac device consultation, or related interventional cardiology services.

The recent opportunities instead reflect healthcare administration and staffing: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determination (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries division is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid on August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Collier County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). The geographic spread across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas reflects scattered state and county healthcare procurement, not concentrated activity under a single cardiac-device commodity code.
