UNSPSC 85494373: Extirpation of matter from chordae tendineae, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from chordae tendineae, percutaneous endoscopic 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 02C94ZZ

UNSPSC 85494373 Extirpation of matter from chordae tendineae, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical nomenclature and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code span medical evaluation, health insurance benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific cardiac procedure the code name describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal workforce agencies, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation authorities, county commissioners, and county health systems, representing a broad cross-section of state and local government buyers procuring health services for employees, beneficiaries, and populations in custody.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach seeking a surgical benefit carve-out program with Centers of Excellence networks (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits a classification mismatch: it carries a specific cardiac procedure identifier but consistently receives tagging for broad health services procurement unrelated to that procedure, suggesting either a data quality issue in the state and local procurement system or misclassification in how opportunities are being coded at source.
