UNSPSC 85541831: Removal of synthetic substitute from thoracic duct, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from thoracic duct, 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 07PK3JZ

UNSPSC 85541831 Removal of synthetic substitute from thoracic duct, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention health services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare, occupational health, and benefit-management services bearing no connection to thoracic duct procedures or synthetic-material removal. The code itself appears to describe a specific surgical intervention (removal of a synthetic implant or prosthesis from the thoracic duct via percutaneous access), yet the tagged solicitations span entirely different healthcare domains with no mention of thoracic surgery, synthetic material removal, or percutaneous interventions on that anatomical structure.

State and local procurement activity under this code is not present. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error or that the code is not actively used by state and local health systems and public bodies for the specific surgical procedure it names. Firms pursuing healthcare contracts in state and local procurement should verify code assignment and reconcile the code description against the actual RFP scope before bidding, as this code does not currently reflect active state or local demand for thoracic duct procedures.
