UNSPSC 85494478: Excision of 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 02BT0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494478 Excision of left pulmonary vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification address occupational and employee health services, pension disability evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve pulmonary vein excision or operative surgery in the traditional sense. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied to administrative and benefits-management functions rather than to the procedural intervention its name denotes.

The recent opportunities reflect issuing bodies spanning state departments, county health systems, county pension boards, and municipalities procuring health services administration and staffing. The Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) targets physicians board-certified in occupational medicine to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across ferry system locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical record summaries and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual pension benefit applications. The City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out proposal (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) targets centers of excellence managing bundled procedures for city employees. Geographic distribution spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with county-level procurement in Texas and multiple municipalities and regional health systems active. The divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity indicates this code sees limited genuine application in state and local markets.
