UNSPSC 85494022: Destruction of pericardium, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 025N4ZZ

UNSPSC 85494022 Destruction of pericardium, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in theory designates a specific medical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect that clinical scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 show no solicitations for pericardial destruction procedures or related surgical services. Instead, the code appears to have been applied to disability benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, health plan benefit management, emergency medical services contracting, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems that assigned this code to unrelated work, or a systematic misclassification of administrative health services under a surgical procedure code.

The geographic spread of activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), with no pattern of repeat buyers under this code. Because the opportunities do not reflect actual procurement of pericardial destruction services or related surgical procedures, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing state and local work in that clinical domain.
