UNSPSC 85541615: Removal of intraluminal device from cisterna chyli, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of intraluminal device from cisterna chyli, external 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 07PLXDZ

UNSPSC 85541615 Removal of intraluminal device from cisterna chyli, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a highly specific surgical procedure — does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve the procedural intervention named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a systematic indexing error; the code shows little relevant recent activity directly aligned to its stated scope.

The geographic distribution of the unrelated solicitations spans Washington (occupational medical surveillance through the Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including state departments, county governments, cities, and county health systems. Without a coherent procurement activity stream under the code's actual definition, the tactical value of tracking 85541615 for business development purposes is minimal. Bidders with capability in the surgical procedure named should verify their UNSPSC coding directly with procurement offices rather than rely on this code's recent activity.
