UNSPSC 85494222: Resection of chordae tendineae, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of chordae tendineae, 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 02T93ZZ

UNSPSC 85494222 Resection of chordae tendineae, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the code's nominal surgical scope. Instead, the code appears to have been applied to administrative medical services and health benefit management solicitations that bear no clinical relationship to chordae tendineae resection. The opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance examinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve the percutaneous cardiac valve repair procedure the code nominally describes. This represents a systematic mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement content, suggesting either persistent data-entry error in source systems or misapplication of medical procedure codes to administrative healthcare services.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a state transportation department (Washington), a county health system (Santa Clara), a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a city employee benefits office (Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its definition—state and local governments under these records are buying healthcare administration and staffing services, not performing or procuring cardiac surgical procedures. Treat this code as dormant for state and local contracting purposes, or reassess the source tagging before pursuing opportunities nominally assigned to it.
