UNSPSC 85493081: Occlusion of left atrial appendage with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left atrial appendage with extraluminal device, 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 02L70CK

UNSPSC 85493081 Occlusion of left atrial appendage with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity describes occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — a portfolio of activities substantially unrelated to the code's nominal surgical device scope. The recent opportunities include independent disability medical record review and examination coordination for public safety pension determinations; occupational baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry system workers; surgical procedure carve-out network management for municipal employees; pharmacy benefit administration for county health consortiums; and temporary clinical staffing placement. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and municipal HR divisions. This disparity suggests the code has been applied inconsistently across state and local procurement systems or the code taxonomy does not align tightly with the services actually being solicited under it.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, questions due September 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple award with no guaranteed volume). Practitioners should treat this code with caution — the label does not reliably predict procurement intent, and direct review of the underlying solicitation is essential before pursuing work.
