UNSPSC 85494660: Extirpation of matter from right pulmonary vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right pulmonary vein, percutaneous 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 02CS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85494660 Extirpation of matter from right pulmonary vein, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged to it in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure performed on the pulmonary vein; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve pulmonary vein intervention or match the code's procedural scope. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities or a fundamental divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy definition and how it is being applied in practice.

The recent opportunities span city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County), with response dates ranging from September 25, 2026 through October 16, 2026. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without a meaningful connection between the code's nominal scope and the work being solicited, this code shows no actionable procurement signal for firms specializing in the pulmonary vein procedure it names.
