UNSPSC 85571013: Revision of extraluminal device in trachea, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of extraluminal device in trachea, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0BW17CZ

UNSPSC 85571013 Revision of extraluminal device in trachea, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—medical device revision procedures in the trachea—does not match the representative recent opportunities on file. The six most recent solicitations tagged under this code procure occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Ferries), independent disability medical evaluations for pension boards (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve tracheal device procedures, medical device procurement, or surgical interventions. The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, municipal retirement offices, city benefits divisions, county probation departments, county human resources departments, and county health systems—a diverse set of public purchasers—but the work being solicited is health plan administration, occupational health screening, medical evaluation coordination, and staffing placement rather than medical devices or surgical procedures.

Given the mismatch between the code's procedural name and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited, this code appears to have been misapplied in the source material and does not reliably indicate state and local procurement activity in medical device revision or tracheal procedures. A business development professional evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service or product line, as the current opportunities on record show no recent relevant activity.
