This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from atrial 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 02C50ZZ

UNSPSC 85493136, Extirpation of matter from atrial septum, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the medical services and benefits administration work posted under it in recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally describes a surgical cardiac procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve cardiac surgical intervention. This code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity; the mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited indicates tagging or classification error rather than genuine procurement activity under the code's stated scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a county health system, a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), and a municipal benefits administrator (City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations bear substantive relation to cardiac surgical procedures.
