UNSPSC 85493062: Repair 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 02QM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85493062 Repair ventricular septum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director recruitment—none of which involve surgical repair of congenital or acquired ventricular septal defects. The code appears to be a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual scope of work being solicited by state and local jurisdictions.

State and local governments do not appear to be buying ventricular septum repair services directly through procurement channels. When health care procedures are procured at the state or local level, they are typically embedded within broader managed-care contracts, health plan administration, or hospital system agreements rather than tagged to specific surgical codes. Monitor this code for future activity, but current signals suggest it is inactive in state and local procurement or incorrectly assigned to recent opportunities.
