UNSPSC 85571152: Removal of monitoring 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 monitoring 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 0BP072Z

UNSPSC 85571152 Removal of monitoring device from tracheobronchial tree via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific clinical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited under this classification by state and local buyers. Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. None of these activities involve removal of tracheobronchial monitoring devices; the code appears to have been applied to medical services and healthcare procurement more broadly, suggesting a classification mismatch rather than active pursuit of the specific procedure the code names. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single state dominating recent activity.

The representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services—baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers—with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026. The City of Long Beach is seeking surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit administration for Centers of Excellence networks, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, with responses due October 7, 2026. This code carries little relevance to firms pursuing tracheobronchial device removal services or related bronchoscopy-linked procedures; the recent activity reflects general healthcare service procurement rather than the specific procedure the commodity code describes.
