UNSPSC 85494185: Dilation of pulmonary valve with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of pulmonary valve with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open 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 027H04Z

UNSPSC 85494185 Dilation of pulmonary valve with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The posted opportunities under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve cardiology procedures, pulmonary valve interventions, or drug-eluting intraluminal devices. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry rather than a procurement classification for state and local government purchasing, and the opportunities posted against it reflect administrative health benefits and workforce services instead.

The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state or local procurement system or a fundamental incompatibility between the UNSPSC medical device classification and the actual goods and services state and local bodies solicit. Issuers include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—jurisdictions covering Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. No recent opportunities document procurements of intraluminal devices or cardiac procedures. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification or confirm whether opportunities have been miscoded before pursuing contracts under this designation.
