UNSPSC 85493420, Destruction of atrial septum, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that displays a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific invasive cardiac procedure (percutaneous atrial septal defect closure), yet the most recent opportunities sourced under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans. None of these solicitations concern atrial septal defect interventions or percutaneous cardiac procedures.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and purchasing offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities are the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026 for a $750,000 five-year term), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, based on historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing RFP (due October 7, 2026, establishing a qualified vendor pool without guaranteed volume). Activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington, with scattered Texas involvement. The code shows no recent relevant activity aligned with its stated clinical purpose and warrants review for potential taxonomy miscoding in state and local procurement systems.
