UNSPSC 85571709: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in tracheobronchial tree, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in tracheobronchial tree, open 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 0BW00KZ

UNSPSC 85571709 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in tracheobronchial tree, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedural scope and the state and local medical and human resources services actually being procured under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve tracheobronchial tissue revision or surgical implantation. The issuing bodies are diverse: county commissioners, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile justice authorities, and municipal human resources divisions. This fragmentation, combined with the mismatch between code name and actual procurement activity, suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local taxonomies or serves as a catch-all for medical service categories not well-represented elsewhere in UNSPSC.

Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, responses due October 16, 2026, five-year term with maximum compensation of $750,000); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, responses due October 9, 2026, two-year initial term with option to extend); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services for its PPO plan (HR26753, responses due October 7, 2026, two-year initial term with three one-year renewal options); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (258414, responses due April 9, 2026, three-year term effective January 1, 2026 with estimated historical annual spending of $8.7 million). The code shows no coherent procurement market signal and warrants clarification with state and local procurement offices on proper UNSPSC assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
