This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from ventricular 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 02CM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85493381 Extirpation of matter from ventricular septum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect surgical intervention or cardiac care. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve ventricular procedures or percutaneous cardiac intervention. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington), county procurement offices (Collier County, Harris County), and county health systems, representing a broad mix of state health agencies, county commissioners, and municipal employers rather than surgical service providers.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in cardiac or interventional services. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals, due October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026; and the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for employee PPO plans, due October 7, 2026. The code exhibits a fundamental mismatch between its clinical taxonomy and the administrative health-benefits and occupational-health services actually being procured. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should validate the code assignment against scope before investing in bid strategy, as the taxonomy does not reflect the work state and local bodies are currently buying.
