UNSPSC 85571500: Structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree, natural or artificial opening-part F

This class includes one or more of 23 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree via natural or artificial opening. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0B.

UNSPSC 85571500, Structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree, natural or artificial opening—part F (Class), shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which concern tracheal or bronchial structures or openings, artificial or natural. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all for general medical services procurement rather than the specific anatomical domain the UNSPSC title describes.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county-level human resources and juvenile justice departments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal retirement and health offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and regional health systems. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West (Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, Texas), with no clear repeat buyers under this code. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability determinations ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). The code shows limited relevant recent activity; state and local procurement professionals should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged here, as the underlying work often falls outside the Class's stated medical specialization.
