UNSPSC 85572172 Removal of radioactive element from tracheobronchial tree, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful connection to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care carve-outs, and specialty emergency care for detained youth — none of which involve removal of radioactive elements or pulmonary intervention procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied by issuing bodies to general healthcare procurement categories, suggesting either a data taxonomy mismatch or inconsistent classification practice among the jurisdictions using UNSPSC for tagging.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No recent opportunities show actual procurement aligned with the code's medical procedure scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County (RFP 25-8414), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) all show activity, but none solicits services matching the code's nominal description. Firms pursuing procurement under this Commodity code should treat it as inactive for its stated scope and verify the actual UNSPSC classification of any opportunity before investing business development effort.
