This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device 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 0BP170Z

UNSPSC 85571136 Removal of drainage device from trachea, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect tracheal drainage procedures or surgical interventions matching the code's medical description. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve tracheal drainage device removal or procedural intervention of that specificity.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying signals suggests either classification error in the source data or that this code is not currently active for state and local procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California) all posted opportunities tagged to this code during July–September 2026, but none solicited services or products related to tracheal procedures. No representative opportunity directly maps to the code's stated description, and the geographic spread—Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, Washington — reflects the jurisdictions of the mismatched solicitations rather than active tracheal drainage procurement. Business development professionals should verify whether this code remains in use for actual state and local contracting or represents a data-entry anomaly before allocating pursuit resources.
