UNSPSC 85572157: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from trachea, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from trachea, percutaneous 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 0BP13KZ

UNSPSC 85572157 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from trachea, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve surgical removal of tissue substitutes or tracheal procedures. The code's clinical specificity (a discrete surgical procedure) does not match the scope of actual solicitations, which focus on evaluation, administration, staffing, and network management services. No recent state or local contract opportunities reflect procurement of the procedural service the code nominally describes.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a code designation that does not reflect genuine procurement intent. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is correctly applied to any particular opportunity before investing pursuit effort. State and local healthcare systems do solicit clinical services—as evidenced by the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for emergency and inpatient care, the Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP, and Santa Clara Health System's temporary staffing vehicle—but those opportunities are tagged to broader healthcare delivery codes rather than specific surgical procedures. No opportunities posted under UNSPSC 85572157 in the recent window directly procure tracheal surgical services or related implant removal.
