UNSPSC 85541837: Release cisterna chyli, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release cisterna chyli, 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 07NL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85541837 Release cisterna chyli, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specialized surgical or interventional procedure. However, the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted under this code show little to no alignment with the code's clinical scope. The five most recent opportunities soliciting under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve lymphatic system procedures. The mismatch between the code's intended meaning and the work actually being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in the source jurisdictions or use of this code as a catch-all for diverse healthcare contracting activities that do not fit cleanly elsewhere in the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), with activity concentrated in Florida and California. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026, current contract value approximately $95,537.71 monthly), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spend around $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). No substantive recent activity under the code's stated clinical procedure scope is evident; vendors pursuing this code should verify actual scope alignment with issuing bodies before investing RFP preparation effort, as the taxonomy assignment does not reflect the healthcare administration and services work being solicited.
