UNSPSC 85541710: Revision of intraluminal device in thoracic duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of intraluminal device 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 07WK0DZ

UNSPSC 85541710 Revision of intraluminal device in thoracic duct, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving intraluminal devices in the thoracic duct; however, the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not align with that scope. The six posted solicitations involve occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these services involve revision of intraluminal thoracic duct devices or the operative procedures the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the medical administration and staffing services actually being solicited suggests either classification error at the issuing-body level or that this code is not the appropriate vehicle for state and local procurement of related services. Bidders should not rely on this code as a reliable indicator of demand for thoracic duct device procedures or related surgical services in state and local health systems. The recent opportunities under this tag involve benefits administration, occupational health compliance, emergency medical services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which corresponds to the intraluminal device revision work the code purports to describe.
