UNSPSC 85493911: Insertion of defibrillator lead into pericardium, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of defibrillator 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 02HN3KZ

UNSPSC 85493911 Insertion of defibrillator lead into pericardium, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are unrelated to the implantation of defibrillator leads. These solicitations span occupational health, employee benefits administration, and temporary clinical staffing rather than cardiac device procedures. The code's nominal scope does not align with what state and local governments are actually purchasing under this tag in current market activity.

State and local procurement offices do not typically acquire defibrillator lead insertion as a line-item service through RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB processes. When cardiac device services are procured—usually through hospital systems, health plans, or managed care arrangements—they are generally embedded within broader healthcare provider contracts, employee health benefits programs, or inpatient facility agreements rather than solicited as standalone procedures. The present opportunities reflect administrative and staffing-focused healthcare procurement; neither the mislabeling nor the absence of relevant activity under this code presents a pursue opportunity for vendors focused on cardiac device insertion services.
