UNSPSC 85493326: Supplement atrial septum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement atrial septum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 02U53JZ

UNSPSC 85493326 Supplement atrial septum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific cardiac surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it, which instead cover occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention medical services. These solicitations reflect state and local government purchases of medical administration, staffing, and benefits management rather than procurement of the medical device or procedure itself.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach (California) sought surgical procedure carve-out benefit management; the Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division requested occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) requested temporary health professional staffing. The code designation appears to be a tagging error rather than a meaningful procurement category signal, and firms evaluating this code for business development should treat the mismatch as a caution against relying on UNSPSC classification alone for opportunity identification in healthcare services.
