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 02Q50ZZ

UNSPSC 85493071 Repair atrial septum, open approach is a Commodity code that appears misaligned with state and local procurement activity; the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical cardiac repair services but instead cover institutional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer mental health support, and medical direction services—none of which involve cardiac surgical procedures. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for the narrow surgical service its name describes. State and local governments are instead using this code designation for broader healthcare service procurement, including inmate medical and pharmacy services, employee health plan administration, virtual urgent care platforms, behavioral health peer support programs, and EMS medical direction—a pattern suggesting either miscoding in source systems or repurposing of the taxonomy for non-surgical healthcare contracting.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span county commissions (Collier County, Monroe County, Muscogee County), county health and behavioral health departments (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department), reflecting a mix of general-purpose county procurement, health-focused county departments, and local public safety agencies. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida (Collier County, Monroe County) and scattered across California (San Mateo County) and Georgia (Muscogee County); the Santa Monica opportunity adds Southern California municipal activity. Representative recent procurements include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison covering 576 offenders with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million; and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP628 (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services serving approximately 2,300 county members. The code's apparent miscoding or repurposing means buyers pursuing state and local opportunities under this designation should verify actual scope alignment before investing in qualification and proposal development.
