UNSPSC 85494378: Excision of chordae tendineae, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 02B94ZZ

UNSPSC 85494378 Excision of chordae tendineae, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific cardiac surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not procure the procedure itself or related clinical services. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit administration through Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance programs, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. These solicitations address health care contracting and workforce management but do not align with the code's nominal scope of a defined cardiac intervention.

Geographic activity appears distributed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration. The most directly relevant opportunity by contract scale is Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services with historical annual spending of $8.7 million and a three-year initial term effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, due April 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for Independent Medical Evaluation Services (due October 16, 2026) carries a maximum $750,000 over five years commencing February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 for Occupational Medical Surveillance Services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026) runs two years with options to extend for up to five additional one-year terms. The mismatch between the code's procedural specification and the actual scope of work being procured suggests this code does not effectively capture current state and local buying activity in these health services domains.
