UNSPSC 85541757: Extirpation of matter from cisterna chyli, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from cisterna chyli, 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 07CL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85541757 Extirpation of matter from cisterna chyli, open approach, is a Commodity code that appears disconnected from the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure in anatomical taxonomy, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and surgical carve-out programs for government employee health plans. None of these procurements involve the specific surgical intervention the code name identifies. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities are being tagged in the source system or a divergence between the code's intent and its application in state and local contracting.

Activity under this code appears limited and geographically scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no standout repeat buyer or concentration. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities. Without a genuine alignment between the code's surgical scope and the health services, staffing, and benefits-administration work actually being solicited, the code presents limited value as a targeting vehicle for business development professionals. The recent opportunities—City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services (RFP due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance (RFP due October 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a temporary clinical staffing vendor pool (proposals due October 7, 2026)—warrant individual pursuit based on operational fit rather than code-level activity signals.
