UNSPSC 85494466: Insertion of cardiac lead into coronary vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of cardiac lead into coronary 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 02H40MZ

UNSPSC 85494466 Insertion of cardiac lead into coronary vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code in state and local systems do not involve cardiac device implantation or related clinical services. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these services align with cardiac lead insertion or invasive cardiology.

The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity suggests this code either has been misapplied by issuing bodies, is not actively used for state and local contracting in this service line, or appears in the system due to data classification error. Opportunities across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas jurisdictions—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—show strong activity in medical administration, population health management, and clinical staffing, but no procurement activity specific to cardiac device implantation. State and local bodies do not appear to be pursuing cardiac surgical services through this UNSPSC code at present.
