UNSPSC 85493606: Insertion of monitoring device into left ventricle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monitoring device into left ventricle, 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 02HL42Z

UNSPSC 85493606 Insertion of monitoring device into left ventricle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve insertion of cardiac monitoring devices or any percutaneous endoscopic procedure. Instead, the solicitations reflect a mismatch between the code assignment and the work being bought: Phoenix is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations; Long Beach is soliciting surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans; Washington State Ferries is requesting occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County is gathering information on emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is purchasing pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurement activities involve the insertion of ventricular monitoring devices or related cardiac interventions.

The code shows no recent state and local opportunities aligned with its nominal scope. The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, county commissioners' offices, municipalities, and transit authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but their activity is concentrated in health benefits administration, occupational health services, and temporary workforce staffing—categories orthogonal to the cardiac device procedure named in the code. This appears to be a systematic tagging error rather than a quiet market; the code is not a useful vehicle for business development in medical device insertion services at the state and local level based on recent posting activity.
