UNSPSC 85493131: Extirpation of matter from left ventricle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left ventricle, 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 02CL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85493131 Extirpation of matter from left ventricle, open approach is a Commodity code that has shown no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical specialty networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the procedural surgical service named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a miscoding of recent opportunities or minimal legitimate procurement activity under this specific code within state and local markets.

State and local issuing bodies appear to be using this code incorrectly or opportunistically tagging unrelated healthcare-administration and staffing services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Phoenix, Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract term due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) sought surgical specialty network administration proposals due October 7, 2026; Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) established a qualified-vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations involves the surgical procedure named in the code. Purchasing interest in healthcare services administration and occupational health is active across multiple state and local jurisdictions, but procurement under this specific code does not reflect core activity in cardiac or ventricular surgical services.
