UNSPSC 85571302: Inspection of trachea, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of 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 0BJ17ZZ

UNSPSC 85571302 Inspection of trachea, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect tracheal inspection work. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit program administration, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — a portfolio that spans general medical examinations, claims processing, network management, and staffing coordination rather than endoscopic or procedural tracheal inspection. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding in source systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services that do not fit narrower classifications.

Recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services from physicians board-certified in occupational medicine across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability benefit determinations — medical record summarization and scheduling of physician examinations for approximately 75 annual disability applications — with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical benefit carve-out program serving approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees with Centers of Excellence networks, with proposals due October 7, 2026 and anticipated contract start April 1, 2027. The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (excluding nursing and physicians), with proposals due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency, inpatient, and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, with responses due September 25, 2026. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single state or jurisdiction type.
