UNSPSC 85493900: Pericardium inspection heart and great vessels, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on pericardium and inspection of the heart and great vessels with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 02.

UNSPSC 85493900 Pericardium inspection heart and great vessels, percutaneous approach is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve pericardium inspection, cardiac catheterization, or percutaneous vascular procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific invasive cardiac diagnostic procedure; the actual procurement activity across the opportunities spans employment-related medical screening, benefits administration, and general healthcare service contracting.

State and local buyers posting under this code include municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (County of Santa Clara), and county benefits consortia (Collier County). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no pattern of repeat buyers or jurisdictional concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its procedural taxonomy label and the operational scope of work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it, suggesting either an administrative miscoding or a data quality issue in the source records.
