UNSPSC 85571616: Revision of drainage device in tracheobronchial tree, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in tracheobronchial tree, 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 0BW0X0Z

UNSPSC 85571616 Revision of drainage device in tracheobronchial tree, external approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities associated with this code. The solicitations posted under this Commodity code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical benefits administration, disability medical evaluations, and emergency youth detention healthcare—none of which involve tracheobronchial drainage device revision or procedural medical care in the clinical sense the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement database or that the code is being applied to a broader family of health administration and benefits services rather than the specific surgical or interventional procedure its name indicates.

State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county boards (Collier County, Harris County), city pension and retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits divisions (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent opportunities reflect a mix of RFPs and RFIs across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity concentrated in large urban counties and state agencies managing employee health, pension disability determinations, and occupational safety programs. Without alignment between the Commodity code definition and the actual work being solicited—clinical staffing, benefits administration, and occupational health programs—the code presents a poor basis for targeting state and local health procurement activity.
