UNSPSC 85493341: Repair atrial septum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair atrial septum, 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 02Q53ZZ

UNSPSC 85493341 Repair atrial septum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical cardiac procedure, yet the five recent solicitations tagged with it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve percutaneous atrial septum repair.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the jurisdiction systems that posted these opportunities or a substantial disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the agencies' tagging practices. The opportunities themselves are substantive and geographically dispersed — Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California) — covering correctional health, county employee health benefits, virtual care platforms, mental health services, and municipal emergency services. However, because none of these procurements actually involve atrial septum repair or cardiac surgical services, the code shows little relevant activity for vendors pursuing work under its stated scope. State and local buyers using this code appear to be applying it incorrectly to general healthcare and benefits administration rather than to its intended surgical specialty service line.
