UNSPSC 85493149: Destruction of ventricular septum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 025M0ZZ

UNSPSC 85493149 Destruction of ventricular septum, open approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect surgical services at all. Instead, the opportunities posted show medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which align with the code's stated clinical procedure. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that this code is being applied inconsistently across issuing bodies to bundle disparate health-related services. Issuers range across county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies, each procuring distinct medical-related services that do not share a common clinical scope.

Geographic activity spans Washington (state ferries occupational surveillance), Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension disability medical evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical carve-out networks, Santa Clara County temporary health staffing), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation medical services for detained youth), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Because the recent opportunities posted under this code bear no meaningful relationship to ventricular septum destruction, the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing surgical procedure contracting in state and local markets.
