UNSPSC 85571800: Structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree, open approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 23 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0B.

UNSPSC 85571800 Structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree, open approach–part B is a Class code showing a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it by state and local government. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for transportation workers, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involves tracheal or bronchial surgical procedures. The code appears to be a cataloging error on the part of issuing bodies rather than a reflection of actual procurement demand; state and local agencies are not soliciting work aligned with the code's anatomical scope.

The issuing bodies represented in the recent opportunities include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal procurement bureaus (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice and health systems (Harris County, Santa Clara County), and county human resources divisions (Collier County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope, pursuit strategy should focus on confirming correct code assignment with issuing bodies rather than bidding under this classification.
