UNSPSC 85542208: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lymphatic, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lymphatic, 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 07PN3KZ

UNSPSC 85542208 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lymphatic, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity does not align with this medical procedure classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involves removal of tissue substitutes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement system or that this code does not accurately describe current state and local medical service purchases. State and local issuing bodies—including city retirement boards, county health systems, county commissions, and transit authorities—are soliciting medical administration and staffing services at scale, but the opportunities do not reflect the specific clinical procedure named in the code.

The source shows no recent state and local opportunities directly related to removal of nonautologous tissue substitutes from lymphatic tissue via percutaneous approach. Activity appears concentrated in Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Texas (Harris County), Florida (Collier County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), but this geographic distribution reflects the procurement categories actually being bought—benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, and staffing—rather than the tissue-removal procedure. Until procurement systems tag medical procedure solicitations more precisely, this code will remain a poor predictor of actionable state and local contracting opportunity.
