UNSPSC 85493418: Destruction of left atrial appendage, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 02573ZK

UNSPSC 85493418 Destruction of left atrial appendage, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific cardiac intervention procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification span prison medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director roles — none of which involve percutaneous left atrial appendage destruction or related interventional cardiology services. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities are being tagged in the source system or a fundamental disconnect between the code's medical nomenclature and its application in state and local procurement databases.

The geographic spread of opportunities shows activity in Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Issuing bodies include county consolidated governments (Columbus Consolidated Government), county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Monroe County), county health and behavioral health departments (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). The recent opportunities—Muscogee County Prison's comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (RFP due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services (RFP due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support for peer workers (RFP due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director services (RFP due October 16, 2025)—represent administrative and primary care contracting rather than procedural medical interventions. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local contracts in interventional cardiology or procedural services.
