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 07TK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85541728 Resection of thoracic duct, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominal scope — a surgical procedure on the thoracic duct — does not align with the recent solicitations tagged under it in the source. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to thoracic duct resection: they solicit inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county detention facility, pharmacy benefit management administration for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care platform services for a county workforce, peer support services for mental health peer workers, and medical director services for a fire department EMS program. None of these procurements involve surgical procedures, and none appear to be surgical-service contracting at all.

The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state or local procurement database or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC code definition and how purchasing offices are applying it. For business development purposes, this code does not represent a reliable pipeline for surgical services or any consistent service family. If your firm pursues surgical services, thoracic procedures, or related specialty medical contracting with state and local bodies, rely on recent RFP activity and direct vendor network intelligence rather than on this code's current tagging. The opportunities posted here — preventive health services, administrative health plan functions, and EMS oversight — belong to different service codes and do not support pursuit under UNSPSC 85541728.
