UNSPSC 85541835: Removal of infusion device from thoracic duct, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device 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 07PK33Z

UNSPSC 85541835 Removal of infusion device from thoracic duct, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—describing a surgical procedure to remove an infusion device from the thoracic duct using percutaneous technique—does not match the scope of work actually being solicited under this code designation in the state and local market. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve thoracic duct procedures or infusion-device removal. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting broad geographic and jurisdictional spread, but the work they are actually soliciting falls outside the code's nominal scope.

The mismatch between the code descriptor and the opportunities suggests either miscoding in the source data or that this UNSPSC category is not actively used for state and local procurement of the specific clinical procedure it names. Representative recent solicitations—the City of Phoenix's RFP 26001 for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spending (proposals due April 9, 2026)—are all coded to this commodity number but pursue entirely different service lines. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant or incorrectly tagged for state and local procurement purposes and verify category assignment before pursuing opportunities nominally listed under it.
