UNSPSC 85571125: Removal of extraluminal 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 extraluminal 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 0BP18CZ

UNSPSC 85571125 Removal of extraluminal device from trachea, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its procedural scope. The six recent opportunities posted across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas represent a mismatch between the code's nominal description—a surgical tracheal procedure—and the actual work being solicited, which centers on occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension benefits, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical carve-out benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, and emergency care for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve tracheal device removal or endoscopic procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001) sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825) requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753) solicited surgical procedure carve-out management through Centers of Excellence; and Collier County (RFP 25-8414) requested pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members. Issuing bodies include state departments, counties, cities, and health systems.

The recent opportunities reflect administrative healthcare, occupational health compliance, benefits management, and staffing placement—functions unrelated to endoscopic tracheal procedures. Phoenix's independent medical evaluation contract, with a maximum five-year value of $750,000 due October 16, 2026, and Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance contract due October 9, 2026, represent the most substantive recent activity. The code appears to have been assigned to these procurements in error or through broad taxonomic capture of healthcare services. Bidders should verify with issuing bodies directly whether this code reflects actual procurement intent or represents a labeling artifact; the disconnect between the procedural code definition and the services being solicited suggests limited actionable opportunity under this specific commodity classification for state and local work.
