UNSPSC 85761931: Extirpation of matter from pericardial cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from pericardial cavity, open 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 0WCD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85761931 Extirpation of matter from pericardial cavity, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a surgical procedure — bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity recently posted under it. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve cardiothoracic surgery or pericardial procedures. The code shows no genuine recent purchasing activity aligned with its clinical name.

The mismatch reflects a tagging error in the source system rather than an active market. Issuers across multiple state and local jurisdictions — the City of Phoenix (pension boards), City of Long Beach (municipal employee benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Harris County (juvenile detention), Collier County (county employee health), and Santa Clara County (health system operations) — have applied this code to health administrative services and benefit management work. No evidence supports that any of these bodies are procuring cardiothoracic surgical procedures or related clinical services under this code in 2026. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for meaningful business development purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any health services work they intend to pursue.
