UNSPSC 85494442: Release left pulmonary vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left pulmonary vein, 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 02NT0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494442 Release left pulmonary vein, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code shows no alignment with that medical scope. The five recent opportunities on record span inmate healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve pulmonary vein release surgery or any surgical intervention. The code appears to be a tagging error across multiple jurisdictions rather than a live procurement category for state and local government contracting.

Given the mismatch between the code's surgical description and the healthcare administration and support services actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors pursuing state and local opportunities in surgery or perioperative services. The opportunities posted — from Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — represent diverse healthcare service areas, but none correspond to the pulmonary vein release procedure the UNSPSC code nominally describes. Vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before investing time in pursuit, as the taxonomy mismatch suggests systematic miscoding rather than intentional procurement under this Commodity designation.
