UNSPSC 85541954: Inspection of thoracic duct, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of thoracic duct, percutaneous endoscopic 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 07JK4ZZ

UNSPSC 85541954 Inspection of thoracic duct, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) bears a medical-procedure code designation that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve thoracic duct inspection or endoscopic procedures. The issuing bodies represent a cross-section of state and local health and human services agencies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The code shows no meaningful alignment between its nominal scope and the work actually being procured.

Recent activity under this code appears driven by routine municipal benefits administration and occupational health compliance rather than specialty surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks disability record summarization and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension claims at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requires baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations under state regulatory requirements. The County of Santa Clara Health System RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 health professional categories, with no guaranteed volume. No procurement under this code involves thoracic duct inspection or endoscopic procedures; the code designation appears to be a cataloging mismatch that does not reflect actual buying patterns in state and local health services procurement.
