UNSPSC 85541100: Lower lymph nodes, open approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 18 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the lower lymph nodes with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 07.

UNSPSC 85541100 Lower lymph nodes, open approach-part B is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical procedures, lymph node removal, or related clinical interventions. The code's nominal scope (a surgical procedure classification) does not match the health care administration, managed care, and employee health benefit services that state and local governments are actually buying under this tag.

Geographic activity across the recent postings spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with opportunities from county health benefit programs, county detention facilities, and municipal fire services. The source shows no pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated purchasing in any single jurisdiction or service line. Because the code appears to be a data-entry or classification mismatch rather than a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers, pursuit under this code is not recommended without first confirming whether a different UNSPSC classification better describes the target opportunity.
