This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from pericardium, open 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 02CN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85493820 Extirpation of matter from pericardium, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope. The six state and local opportunities posted under this code since July 2026 center on occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefits for public employees—none of which involve pericardial procedures or surgical extraction. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in the procurement system rather than an active category for state and local healthcare procurement.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Santa Clara Health System, Collier County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county commissioners. The sole opportunity with clear surgical relevance—Long Beach's RFP 26 for Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefits covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures—does not invoke pericardial surgery. Geographic activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (ferry system), with response dates clustered in September through October 2026. No recent state or local solicitation targets pericardial surgical services or cardiac extraction procedures under this code.
