UNSPSC 85494173 Extirpation of matter from chordae tendineae, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a surgical procedure code — bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit management and Centers of Excellence networks for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve cardiac surgery or the specific procedure the code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope.

The issuing bodies span diverse state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with activity concentrated among health systems and benefits administrators serving public employees and beneficiaries. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical carve-out benefit programs targeting April 1, 2027 implementation, and the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP with award anticipated by November 30, 2026.
