UNSPSC 85493910: Insertion of cardiac lead into pericardium, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of cardiac lead into pericardium, percutaneous 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 02HN3MZ

UNSPSC 85493910 Insertion of cardiac lead into pericardium, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for cardiac device implantation, yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, disability medical evaluations, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth — none of which involve cardiac lead insertion or percutaneous pericardial procedures. The mismatch suggests either mis-tagging in source databases or that this code does not capture the actual buying pattern of state and local health systems and benefits administrators.

The recent opportunities reflect broad purchasing by counties, cities, and public health systems for medical administration, benefits contracting, and staffing services rather than specific surgical procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical benefit carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence for orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending (due April 9, 2026); Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single state or jurisdiction emerging as a dominant repeat buyer. Absent evidence that the code accurately tags cardiac procedure procurement, pursuit under this code is not recommended without verification that issuing bodies actually use it to solicit such work.
