UNSPSC 85571640: Change endotracheal airway in trachea, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to change endotracheal airway 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 0B21XEZ

UNSPSC 85571640 Change endotracheal airway in trachea, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific medical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities show little activity aligned with that clinical scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record summarization, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve endotracheal airway management. The code shows poor alignment with actual procurement activity; state and local governments are not currently soliciting endotracheal airway procedures under this classification.

Geographic distribution and recent activity are not decision-relevant because the code carries no consistent procurement signal. The solicitations present—from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—span multiple states and jurisdictions but are misaligned with the code's nominal scope. Bid due to skip this code unless your firm specifically targets occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, or specialty surgical networks, in which case the underlying opportunities (RTMRFP26001 from Phoenix, RFP20260825 from Washington State Ferries, and HR26753 from Long Beach) represent active work—but those should be pursued under more semantically appropriate UNSPSC classifications related to health services administration or medical services delivery rather than under a procedure-specific airway code.
