UNSPSC 85493918: Destruction of pericardium, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of pericardium, 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 025N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85493918 Destruction of pericardium, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's clinical scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the actual work being solicited by state and local issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block. The six posted solicitations target occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, surgical procedure carve-out benefits administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve pericardial destruction or percutaneous cardiac procedures. State and local procurement under this code does not reflect the procedure's narrow clinical definition; instead, the opportunities tagged to it span medical benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing services that fall outside interventional cardiology or cardiac surgery scopes.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems and human resources departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and municipal employee benefit offices (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 are concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas, with response dates ranging through October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) requesting physician-led examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive staffing qualification vehicle for ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's apparent assignment to these benefits-administration and occupational-health opportunities appears to reflect a tagging error rather than a substantive procurement category for cardiac interventional procedures in state and local markets.
