This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 02C93ZZ

UNSPSC 85494261 Extirpation of matter from chordae tendineae, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code, which describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure, does not align with the state and local opportunities tagged to it. Recent solicitations under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the percutaneous removal of material from heart valve chords. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or use of this code as a catch-all for diverse health services procurement that falls outside its intended definition.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona, with no clear concentration. 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 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing RFP due October 7, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope does not reflect actual procurement activity, assessment of pursuit should rest on the specific health service category being solicited rather than on the code itself.
