UNSPSC 85494196: Destruction of chordae tendineae, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of chordae tendineae, 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 02590ZZ

UNSPSC 85494196 Destruction of chordae tendineae, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal clinical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgery benefit management carve-outs, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve destruction of chordae tendineae or related cardiac surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's specific clinical designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement databases or a data classification issue. State and local governments do purchase occupational health services, medical evaluation administration, and healthcare benefit management through various issuing bodies including state departments of transportation, city retirement offices, county health systems, and county commissioners' boards, but these purchases are not substantively related to the code's stated procedural scope.

The geographic spread of mislabeled activity under this code includes Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with recent response deadlines spanning August through October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). The absence of cardiac surgery procedure solicitations under this code warrants verification against the state and local procurement system's taxonomy alignment.
