UNSPSC 85571119: Repair trachea, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair trachea, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0BQ18ZZ

UNSPSC 85571119 Repair trachea, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—endoscopic tracheal repair procedures—does not match the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The source records six state and local solicitations tagged to this code, but none involve tracheal repair or any related surgical procedure: instead, they span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transit workers, emergency medical services in youth detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. This systematic mismatch suggests either data-entry error in the tagging of opportunities to the code or a significant divergence between the code's clinical scope and how state and local procurement offices classify health services work.

The opportunities that do appear under the code come from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Geographic concentration is absent; activity is scattered. Representative recent work includes the City of Phoenix's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations, due October 16, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 state locations, due October 9, 2026. Because the code itself does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under it, business development professionals should verify the correct code classification before pursuing opportunities in this category.
