UNSPSC 85493404: Excision of papillary muscle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of papillary muscle, 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 02BD3ZZ

UNSPSC 85493404 Excision of papillary muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that in state and local practice captures not surgical interventions themselves but rather the administrative, occupational health, and benefit management infrastructure through which public employers and public-serving agencies (fire and police pension boards, transit authorities, county health systems, detention facilities) evaluate medical fitness, manage employee health surveillance, and administer pharmacy and surgical benefits. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code to tag requests for independent medical evaluations supporting disability retirement determinations, occupational medical surveillance for safety-sensitive transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit administration, and surgical carve-out programs for public employee health plans. The issuing-body mix spans city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county detention authorities, reflecting the code's application across benefits administration, occupational health, and clinical procurement rather than procedural surgery per se.

Activity in recent months clusters in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services on September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026, requesting disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent physician examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP on August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington State ferry locations, covering baseline and periodic examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, and other safety-sensitive personnel. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued a multiple-award solicitation on July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026, for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (audiology, diagnostic imaging, therapy, sterile processing, surgical support) across 13 distinct clinical categories. The City of Long Beach released an RFP on August 26, 2026, due October 7, 2026, for a surgical carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, cardiac, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 public employees and retirees. These opportunities indicate the code reflects downstream health-service-management demand rather than surgical-procedure demand, and activity remains active across multiple jurisdictions and service lines through October 2026.
