UNSPSC 85541300: Lower lymph nodes, percutaneous 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 percutaneous 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 85541300 Lower lymph nodes, percutaneous approach–part B is a Class code that shows no substantive alignment with the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code nominates a specific medical procedure (percutaneous lymph node biopsy), yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve lymph node procedures or the diagnostic imaging and pathology infrastructure the code describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing body level or a data-entry error in the source tagging.

The recent opportunities themselves reflect a diverse issuing-body mix: county corrections and county human resources departments (Columbus Consolidated Government and Collier County), county health systems (Monroe County), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). The geographic spread spans Georgia, Florida, and California. Concrete recent examples include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). None of these procurement activities logically falls under a code designating lymph node biopsy procedures, indicating that the code's utility for state and local business development in its current assignment is minimal.
