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 02N73ZZ

UNSPSC 85493346 Release left atrium, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, yet the five recent solicitations in the source span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve percutaneous cardiac intervention or the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that this code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare service contracting across a broad range of clinical and administrative domains unrelated to its stated commodity definition.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include county corrections departments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county commissioners' offices managing employee benefits and countywide health coverage (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). The opportunities posted between late February and mid-April 2026 show activity concentrated in Florida, Georgia, and California, with scope ranging from annual inmate healthcare contracts valued at approximately $95,537.71 per month to pharmacy benefit management programs managing $8.7 million in annual spending, virtual care platforms for county workforces, and specialized support services. Given the procedural nature of the code's nominal definition and the administrative and clinical service character of actual recent opportunities, this code appears to have limited relevance to procurement professionals focused on cardiac interventions or device-dependent procedures.
