UNSPSC 85541708: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic duct, 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 07WK0KZ

UNSPSC 85541708 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic duct, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local contract activity aligned with its nominal scope; the code appears misapplied to current procurement activity in the source material.

The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefit programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara)—represent administrative health benefit management, occupational health screening, clinical staffing, and benefit plan procurement rather than the surgical revision of tissue substitutes in the thoracic duct. These solicitations span health systems, county human resources and benefits functions, juvenile probation departments, and state transportation agencies, but they do not procure the anatomical procedure or tissue-substitute materials that the UNSPSC code describes. No recent bids target thoracic duct surgical services or nonautologous tissue products, and the geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington reflects general health benefit and clinical staffing procurement rather than activity in this specific surgical commodity. The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure nomenclature and the administrative and workforce-management services actually being solicited suggests the code is not currently a meaningful category for state and local procurement in this domain.
