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 02580ZZ

UNSPSC 85492308 Destruction of conduction mechanism, open approach is a Commodity code that shows significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity under the code. Recent solicitations tagged with this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve destruction of conduction mechanisms or open surgical approaches in any clinical sense. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact in state and local procurement systems, as the recent opportunities reflect broad healthcare administration and staffing services rather than a discrete medical procedure line.

Issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), suggesting that either the code is being applied across multiple health-related procurement contexts or that the taxonomy mapping is inconsistent across jurisdictions. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's stated definition and the work actually being solicited, firms should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this Commodity.
