UNSPSC 85494385: Dilation of pulmonary valve with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic 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, 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 027H44Z

UNSPSC 85494385 Dilation of pulmonary valve with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a broader and unrelated range of occupational health, disability benefits administration, and employee health benefit services. The City of Phoenix, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Long Beach, and Santa Clara County Health System have all posted opportunities under this code in the past two months, but none of the solicitations align with the code's stated medical procedure. Instead, issuing bodies are seeking independent medical evaluation services for retirement disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance and examinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by these jurisdictions or a data quality issue in the tagging mechanism rather than genuine procurement activity in drug-eluting cardiac device installation.

The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity. Procurement offices in Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas have posted opportunities, but because the actual solicitations—disability medical record review, occupational health screening, PBM administration, and temporary clinical staffing—fall outside the code's nominal scope and represent distinct service lines with their own UNSPSC homes, pursuing this code as a cardiac intervention supplier or provider would be misaligned with the work state and local governments are actually buying under it. A vendor evaluating this code should treat the tagging as a data error and verify the correct codes for occupational medicine, health plan administration, or medical staffing before pursuing these opportunities.
