UNSPSC 85494700: Veins heart and lungs, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on veins of the heart and lungs with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 02.

UNSPSC 85494700 Veins heart and lungs, percutaneous endoscopic approach—part A is a Class code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The nominal code describes a surgical procedure classification (endoscopic intervention on cardiovascular structures), yet the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 solicit health services administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, medical evaluation for pension disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs—none of which involve direct percutaneous endoscopic procedures on cardiac or pulmonary vasculature. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied to health services procurement that does not match its substance, rendering it an unreliable signal for pursuing work in the cardiac and pulmonary endoscopy supply or service category.

The recent opportunities themselves span diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The work being solicited ranges from independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement benefit determinations (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards, RFP due October 16, 2026) to occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington State ferry locations (WSDOT, proposals due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026) to surgical procedure carve-out networks for government employee health plans (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026) to pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County, RFP due April 9, 2026 but posted August 20, 2026). Because the code shows no substantive alignment with the opportunities tagged to it, the geographic and issuing-body patterns here do not usefully inform pursuit decisions under the code's actual scope.
