UNSPSC 85641548: Insertion of pacemaker, dual chamber into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of pacemaker, dual chamber into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, 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 0JH636Z

UNSPSC 85641548 Insertion of pacemaker, dual chamber into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — surgical placement of a specific cardiac device — does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local bodies. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, Centers of Excellence surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing. None of these activities involve pacemaker insertion or device implantation as a direct procurable service. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the sources or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are tagging health services contracts.

The six recent opportunities originate across multiple state and local jurisdictions — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — and span RFPs and RFQs posted between July and September 2026 with response dates between September 25 and October 16, 2026. None of these solicitations address implantable medical devices or surgical procedures matching the code's title. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and monitor other health-services-related UNSPSC classifications that more accurately reflect the administrative, staffing, and benefit-management work state and local health systems are actually buying.
