UNSPSC 85542500: Organs of the lymphatic system, open approach

This class includes one or more of 18 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the organs of the lymphatic system, open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 07.

UNSPSC 85542500 Organs of the lymphatic system, open approach is a Class code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities in the source—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—are healthcare administration, managed care, and clinical governance contracts. None involve procurement of lymphatic system organs, surgical instruments, implants, or related medical devices or supplies that would fall within this code's scope. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry that state and local purchasing offices have either mislabeled or do not regularly use for operational procurement.

No relevant recent opportunities exist under this code. State and local procurement activity in healthcare administration and employee health benefits cluster instead under different UNSPSC codes tied to managed care services, occupational health services, or clinical staff augmentation rather than organ-system–specific surgical classifications.
