UNSPSC 85541820: Restriction of thoracic duct with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of thoracic duct with extraluminal device, percutaneous 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 07VK3CZ

UNSPSC 85541820 Restriction of thoracic duct with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-procedure scope. The code's title refers to a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with thoracic duct restriction procedures. State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect the surgical specialty the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual recent solicitation activity indicates either systematic misclassification in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for its intended purpose. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for practical state and local contracting purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification if pursuing healthcare contracting opportunities with state agencies, counties, or municipalities.
