UNSPSC 85493137: Excision of ventricular septum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 02BM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85493137 Excision of ventricular septum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it reflect broader healthcare administration and service delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve the cardiac surgical intervention the code describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for healthcare services and clinical staffing that fall outside narrower procedural codes.

The issuing bodies span county health departments, correctional authorities, and municipal fire departments across Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County, Santa Monica). Recent opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support pilot (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director RFP (due October 16, 2025). The current tagged activity offers no legitimate procurement signal under the nominal code scope; firms pursuing clinical healthcare staffing, benefits administration, or EMS medical direction should verify accurate UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
