UNSPSC 85494221: Resection of pulmonary valve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of pulmonary valve, 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 02TH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85494221 Resection of pulmonary valve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit program carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve pulmonary valve resection or percutaneous cardiac procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding at the source level or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and the health-services contracting practices of these issuing bodies.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of county health systems, county and municipal retirement boards, county human resources divisions managing employee benefits, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments. The six opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), Washington (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, five-year term, $750,000 maximum), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with renewal options), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026, go-live April 1, 2027), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories excluding nursing and physicians (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive qualification vehicle). Given the disconnect between code definition and actual procurement activity, this code warrants verification with the source agencies or recoding of these opportunities into appropriate health services or staffing codes.
