UNSPSC 85494337: Resection of pulmonary valve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of pulmonary valve, 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 02TH4ZZ

UNSPSC 85494337 Resection of pulmonary valve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect surgical procedures or cardiac interventions. The code shows no relevant recent activity — the opportunities posted under this code in the past two months cover independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks. None of these services involve pulmonary valve resection or percutaneous endoscopic cardiac procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a divergence between how this code is classified in the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies actually use it.

The issuing bodies across these six opportunities span a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), a county benefits consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). The recent activity is dispersed geographically across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Given the absence of cardiac procedure solicitations and the prevalence of health services administration, staffing, and benefits management work, this code does not present a clear procurement category for vendors pursuing surgical interventions or device-related work in state and local markets.
