UNSPSC 85494005: Resection of pericardium, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of pericardium, 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 02TN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85494005 Resection of pericardium, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this code show no alignment with cardiac surgical procedures; instead, the opportunities span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. The code's nominal scope — a specific cardiac surgical technique — bears no relationship to any of the six recent state and local opportunities posted under it, indicating a taxonomy misclassification at the state and local level rather than genuine procurement activity in percutaneous endoscopic pericardial resection.

The geographic spread of the misclassified opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, county procurement divisions, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, for $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle). This code should not be pursued; the recent posting pattern reflects upstream taxonomy error rather than genuine market demand for the surgical procedure named.
