UNSPSC 85541742: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from thoracic duct, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from 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 07PK07Z

UNSPSC 85541742 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from thoracic duct, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy label bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The code shows little relevant recent activity; recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's clinical surgical procedure name. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source system or a jurisdictional use of UNSPSC codes that does not track the code's intended scope.

Among the opportunities posted, the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the clearest procurement signals, drawing on occupational health and disability evaluation services across multiple Washington State ferry locations and Arizona public safety pension determinations respectively. The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, county retirement offices, and cities in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Absent clarity on why this surgical code is being applied to administrative and occupational health services, the code's recent activity should be treated as a signal of miscoding rather than genuine procurement demand aligned to the code's stated clinical scope.
