UNSPSC 85571130: Removal of synthetic substitute from trachea, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0BP17JZ

UNSPSC 85571130 Removal of synthetic substitute from trachea, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure descriptor but shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with this specific surgical intervention. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care coordination for employee benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve tracheal synthetic substitute removal or the specialized surgical expertise that procedure requires. The issuing bodies are diverse: a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and a regional health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). This fragmentation, combined with the absence of any opportunity actually soliciting tracheal surgical services, suggests the code has been misapplied or is inactive for its nominal scope.

The geographic spread covers Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, California, and the broader West, but without any opportunities matching the code's stated procedure. The most recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program RFP due October 7, 2026 — all focused on administrative, preventive, or coordinated care rather than specialized surgical interventions. The mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual procurement activity makes pursuit unlikely unless the opportunities in your pipeline contain explicit references to tracheal procedures or synthetic airway management services.
