This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in trachea, external approach. 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 0BW1XKZ

UNSPSC 85571601 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in trachea, external approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical taxonomy label and the recent state and local solicitation activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving tracheal tissue replacement, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for centers of excellence, and emergency services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve tracheal surgery, tissue substitutes, or the procedural work the code's name suggests. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Long Beach, Phoenix), indicating broad-based state and local health-service procurement activity, but the activities posted represent healthcare administration, staffing, claims management, and emergency access rather than specific surgical procedures.

Geographic coverage includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida based on the recent postings, though the code's activity does not cluster around any particular region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code exhibits recent activity but with poor alignment between the surgical procedure taxonomy and the healthcare administration and staffing work actually being procured.
