UNSPSC 85571642: Change other device in tracheobronchial tree, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to change other 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 0B20XYZ

UNSPSC 85571642 Change other device in tracheobronchial tree, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its clinical scope in state and local procurement. The code's nominal definition — a highly specific surgical or interventional procedure code — does not match the work actually being solicited under this designation in recent state and local opportunities. The handful of recent postings tagged to this code cover institutional healthcare management contracts, pharmacy benefits administration, virtual care services, peer support program implementation, and EMS medical direction — none of which involve tracheobronchial tree device changes or closely parallel the code's intended clinical meaning. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code incorrectly or as a catch-all taxonomy marker for broader healthcare service categories rather than as a narrowly defined procedure code.

The geographic spread of the few opportunities posted includes Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County/Columbus Consolidated Government), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica Fire Department), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Recent solicitations include a comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP from Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (due May 15, 2026) for Muscogee County Prison; a pharmacy benefits management RFP from Collier County Board of County Commissioners (posted April 9, 2026); a virtual primary and urgent care services RFP from Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (due April 16, 2026); a peer support services RFP from San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (due July 2, 2025); and a fire department medical director RFP from Santa Monica Fire Department (due October 16, 2025). The code does not represent a coherent procurement category in current state and local practice — buyers seeking true tracheobronchial device services would likely use different UNSPSC codes or medical device procurement taxonomies entirely.
