UNSPSC 85571840: Removal of synthetic substitute from tracheobronchial tree, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0BP00JZ

UNSPSC 85571840 Removal of synthetic substitute from tracheobronchial tree, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tracheobronchial procedures or synthetic-substitute removal. The code appears to have been applied to a broad set of health-related government contracting activities rather than the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies span state health departments and transportation agencies, counties, and municipalities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services on an RFP basis with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code's assignment to these diverse health-service procurements rather than surgical procedures suggests either misfiling in the opportunity database or a jurisdictional classification divergence from standard UNSPSC taxonomy application.
