UNSPSC 85494266: Excision of chordae tendineae, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 02B93ZZ

UNSPSC 85494266 Excision of chordae tendineae, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical procedure nomenclature. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code span pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific cardiac surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests the code is either a classification error in the state and local procurement system or reflects idiosyncratic tagging by individual issuing bodies that does not correspond to actual purchasing patterns under this commodity designation.

The issuing bodies include county government (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), municipal and city government (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Concrete recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these procurements involve cardiac surgical procedures, and pursuing opportunities under this code requires recognizing that the taxonomy classification does not predict the work actually being solicited.
