This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic 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 07WK0JZ

UNSPSC 85541709 Revision of synthetic substitute in thoracic duct, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities show little alignment with this scope. The code does not appear in active state and local procurement for thoracic surgical services or medical device revision. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve thoracic duct procedures or synthetic implant revision. This mismatch suggests the code is either incorrectly assigned to these opportunities or that state and local issuing bodies are using this UNSPSC category as a catch-all for general medical services procurement.

State and local buyers posting under this code include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), city personnel departments (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans Arizona, Florida, California, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel; the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management for 3,800 Anthem PPO members (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). This code shows no clear recent activity in thoracic or vascular surgical procurement.
