UNSPSC 85571832: Removal of synthetic substitute from trachea, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from trachea, 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 0BP10JZ

UNSPSC 85571832 Removal of synthetic substitute from trachea, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for removing synthetic tracheal substitutes, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve tracheal surgery or synthetic tracheal substitutes. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), disability medical record review and independent medical examinations (City of Phoenix retirement boards), surgical benefit carve-out management for Centers of Excellence (City of Long Beach), specialty and emergency healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara County Health System). These opportunities represent general health services procurement rather than the specific procedural intervention the code nominally describes, suggesting either systematic miscoding or that the code is being used as a catch-all container for diverse healthcare purchasing that does not align with its formal name.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county human resources and health system divisions (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal government (City of Long Beach), indicating broad jurisdictional participation. Recent activity is concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Without a representative opportunity that actually matches the code's nominal scope, readers evaluating tracheal surgery procurement should not assume this code reliably surfaces relevant work; the mismatch between the code name and the work being solicited suggests that pursuing this category may produce false positives and require manual filtering to identify actual tracheal-procedure opportunities.
