UNSPSC 85493406: Excision of left atrial appendage, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left atrial appendage, 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 02B73ZK

UNSPSC 85493406 Excision of left atrial appendage, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code bear no clear relationship to that procedure. The opportunities instead span jail and prison medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none involving left atrial appendage excision. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and what state and local buyers are actually procuring under it, suggesting either a tagging error in the underlying system or a systematic misapplication of the code to healthcare services procurement more broadly.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include a county consolidated government (Columbus, Georgia), county boards of commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), county health and behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic concentration appears in Florida and California, with additional activity in Georgia and representation from the West Coast. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). Because the code's nominal definition does not align with the procurement activity in the source, treating this code as a reliable signal for surgical-procedure procurement would likely be misleading; business development professionals should verify code assignment before investing pursuit effort.
