UNSPSC 85571124: Removal of intraluminal device from trachea, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of intraluminal device from 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 0BP18DZ

UNSPSC 85571124 Removal of intraluminal device from trachea, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical procedure title does not match the work actually being solicited under it in the recent opportunities block. State and local government procurement offices have tagged this code to solicitations covering independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve tracheal device removal or endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the underlying procurement system or that the code has been applied to a broad family of health services beyond its specific procedural definition.

The recent opportunities under this code span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluations for public safety disability claims); California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit program, County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing); Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management); Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance); and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth). Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, city procurement departments, county health systems, and state transportation agencies. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract value and proposals due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Ferries locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no coherent pattern of procurement activity tied to its nominal scope and warrants reclassification or removal from active use.
