UNSPSC 85471939: Bypass spinal canal to pleural cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass spinal canal to pleural cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 001U3K4

UNSPSC 85471939 Bypass spinal canal to pleural cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal clinical procedural scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs—do not represent the specific spinal bypass procedure the code describes. The mismatch between the code's technical surgical definition and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding of opportunities within state and local systems or minimal direct procurement of this particular procedure through formal state and local channels.

Across the six opportunities associated with the code, issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Florida, Texas, California, Washington, and Arizona, with no state dominating recent activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications (due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 county employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026, already closed). Business development professionals should treat this code as currently inactive for substantive pursuit; if the organization targets state and local medical and health benefits administration, the constituent opportunities warrant attention through the specific issuing bodies rather than through this code taxonomy classification.
