This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from 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 0BP1X2Z

UNSPSC 85571619 Removal of monitoring device from trachea, external approach is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not align with the code's clinical procedure scope. The posted opportunities—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve broader healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing services rather than the specific tracheal device removal procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests the code sees little procurement activity that reflects its stated definition, and state and local buyers tagging healthcare contracts under this commodity appear to be using it as a catch-all rather than as a precise clinical-procedure classifier.

The issuing bodies span state health and transportation departments, county government and pension boards, and municipal and county health systems, with activity concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing to establish a five-year qualified vendor pool (due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program (due October 7, 2026). Because the recent opportunities under this code do not reflect its nominal procedure-level scope, business development professionals should verify that their service offerings align with healthcare administration or occupational medicine rather than assume the code applies to tracheal-device clinical work.
