UNSPSC 85494778: Dilation of superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic 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 027V4ZZ

UNSPSC 85494778 Dilation of superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pensions, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to vena cava dilation procedures or interventional cardiology services.

The mismatch between code and scope suggests either tagging error in the source data or a category designation in the state and local procurement systems that does not align with the UNSPSC definition. Firms pursuing work in interventional cardiology, vascular procedures, or related diagnostic and therapeutic services should verify the actual UNSPSC codes used by their target agencies rather than rely on this code designation. The recent posting activity under this code reflects demand from Arizona public pension boards, California municipal employees, Washington State ferries, Texas county juvenile detention, Florida counties, and California health systems — but for administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and occupational health, not procedural cardiology.
