UNSPSC 85572159: Removal of tracheostomy device from trachea, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of tracheostomy device 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 0BP13FZ

UNSPSC 85572159 Removal of tracheostomy device from trachea, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code are exclusively for comprehensive health and social services contracting — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve removal of tracheostomy devices or percutaneous tracheal procedures. The code appears to be misapplied to general healthcare procurement activity rather than the specific surgical or medical device removal service its name describes.

The issuing bodies include county corrections departments, county human resources and benefits programs, county health departments, and municipal fire services across multiple states. Recent opportunities posted through early 2026 span Georgia (Muscogee County Prison), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica). Without active opportunities actually soliciting tracheostomy device removal services, this code shows no meaningful recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope. Business development professionals should verify whether this code assignment reflects the intended commodity or service family, as the recent opportunities suggest a classification mismatch rather than genuine activity under the tracheal procedure code.
