UNSPSC 85572100: Structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree, percutaneous approach-part A

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 percutaneous 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 85572100 Structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree, percutaneous approach-part A is a Class code showing minimal alignment between its clinical nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code — including independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — reflect general healthcare service procurement rather than pulmonary or respiratory procedure-specific work. State and local government buyers soliciting under this code span city retirement offices, municipal health plans, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county human resources departments, and county health systems. The issuing bodies reflect a mix of administrative health benefit and clinical operations purchasing rather than a cohesive clinical specialization.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. Activity appears scattered across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The mismatch between the code's anatomical specificity and the actual procurement scope suggests this code may be incorrectly applied to general healthcare administration and staffing contracts; no recent opportunity explicitly addresses tracheo-broncheal tree interventions or respiratory procedures.
