UNSPSC 85493562: Repair ventricular septum, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair ventricular septum, percutaneous endoscopic 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 02QM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85493562 Repair ventricular septum, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve ventricular septum repair or percutaneous endoscopic cardiac procedures. State and local governments are not soliciting this specialized surgical service through public procurement channels under this code.

The geographic spread and issuing bodies in the posted opportunities span multiple states and jurisdictions: Muscogee County (Georgia) is procuring comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services; Collier County (Florida) is seeking pharmacy benefit management services; Monroe County (Florida) is requesting virtual primary and urgent care services; San Mateo County (California) is issuing an RFP for peer support services for behavioral health workers; and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) is recruiting a fire department medical director. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code descriptor and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code is not in active use for its nominal clinical purpose. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local procurement purposes and focus instead on the broader healthcare service delivery codes under which jurisdictions actually solicit medical staffing, pharmacy administration, and clinical management services.
