UNSPSC 85571930: Occlusion of trachea with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of trachea with extraluminal device, 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 0BL10CZ

UNSPSC 85571930 Occlusion of trachea with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—specifically the blocking of the windpipe using an external device via open surgery—which is a clinical intervention code from the medical procedures taxonomy rather than a procurement classification for goods or services that state and local governments buy.

The five recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services for county members (Monroe County), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations involve airway occlusion procedures or the devices or surgical instruments associated with them. The mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the source system or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement without regard to the actual clinical scope. No active pursuit is recommended under this code until the tagging issue is clarified with the issuing jurisdictions.
