UNSPSC 85493031: Resection of ventricular septum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of ventricular septum, 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 02TM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85493031 Resection of ventricular septum, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recently posted opportunities in the source are tagged under this code but involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which constitute surgical intervention for ventricular septal defect repair. The code's nominal scope — a specific cardiac surgical procedure — does not align with the healthcare administration, primary care delivery, and support services that state and local jurisdictions are actually procuring under this tag.

State and local procurement offices appear to be using this Commodity code as a catchall for healthcare-related contracts rather than for the specific surgical service it names. Buyers include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), with recent opportunities ranging from annual inmate healthcare contracts to virtual care platforms and specialty pharmacy management. Activity over the past four months (February through April 2026) spans multiple states with no geographic concentration. Unless your firm supplies surgical services, equipment, or supplies specifically tied to open ventricular septal defect repair procedures, this code warrants close scrutiny for tag accuracy before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
