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 02BG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494176 Excision of mitral valve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its scope. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect broader healthcare administration and service delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical excision of mitral valves or cardiothoracic surgery at all. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with a surgical-procedure code that does not match the work actually being solicited.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities actually posted under it renders this code unreliable for targeting cardiothoracic surgical services or related clinical work at the state and local level. The opportunities identified — an RFP from Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison) for inmate medical and pharmacy services with a May 15, 2026 deadline, Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, Monroe County's virtual care initiative, and others — involve healthcare administration, network management, and support services rather than surgical procedures. If your firm pursues cardiothoracic surgical services or related specializations, this code should not be treated as a reliable vehicle for finding opportunities; instead, monitor healthcare delivery and facility management codes more broadly and track issuing-body procurement calendars directly for surgical services opportunities.
