UNSPSC 85493058: Replacement of atrial septum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of atrial septum with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 02R50KZ

UNSPSC 85493058 Replacement of atrial septum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for cardiac defect repair, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve atrial septum replacement or the implantation of nonautologous tissue substitutes in cardiac surgery. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual solicitations suggests the code may be tagged in error or used as a placeholder by issuing bodies without regard to UNSPSC precision.

The opportunities themselves span state agencies, county health systems, county retirement offices, and municipal procurement: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Santa Clara County Health System (temporary staffing), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency medical services), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension disability evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. The work being solicited is administrative and operational medical contracting rather than surgical procedures — vendors are providing medical evaluation services, staffing coordination, pharmacy administration, and occupational health programs. For purposes of business development, this code does not represent a viable procurement category for devices, implants, or surgical supplies related to cardiac intervention.
