UNSPSC 85493144 Excision of atrial septum, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical procedures, cardiac or otherwise. Instead, the opportunities address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of open surgical repair of atrial defects. The mismatch suggests that this code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local buyers actually procuring the procedure it names.

The opportunities posted under this code reflect medical administration and staffing functions rather than surgical services. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) involve physician-led medical assessments and record management; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out (due October 7, 2026) addresses Centers of Excellence networks for bundled surgical and orthopedic procedures on a voluntary basis; and the Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing vehicle (due October 7, 2026) covers ancillary clinical roles excluding physicians and nursing. No opportunity in the block describes surgical procedure procurement or cardiac surgical services.
