UNSPSC 85571149: Removal of extraluminal device from tracheobronchial tree, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of extraluminal device from tracheobronchial tree, 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 0BP07CZ

UNSPSC 85571149 Removal of extraluminal device from tracheobronchial tree, via natural or artificial opening (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its clinical nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical care networks for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve removal of foreign bodies from the airway. The code's nominal scope addresses a specific surgical procedure, yet the tagged solicitations reflect broad health care administrative and staffing services unrelated to that clinical intervention.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, Washington, Florida, California, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel retirement determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services supporting Washington State Ferries operations across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool qualification for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual procurement activity suggests this code is not appropriately capturing the solicitations tagged under it, making it an unsuitable targeting vector for business development in the state and local market.
