UNSPSC 85641267: Insertion of cardiac resynchronization defibrillator pulse generator into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of cardiac resynchronization defibrillator pulse generator into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, 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 0JH609Z

UNSPSC 85641267 Insertion of cardiac resynchronization defibrillator pulse generator into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve implantation of cardiac devices; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. These solicitations fall outside the code's stated scope of surgical implantation procedures and indicate a mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the work actually being procured.

State and local healthcare purchasing agencies—including city retirement offices, counties, transit authorities, and health systems—appear to use this code for administrative and managed-care services rather than for specific surgical procedures. The issuing bodies span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but their recent procurements do not reflect demand for device implantation services under the code's nominal definition.
