UNSPSC 85572229: Occlusion of trachea with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of trachea with intraluminal device, 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 0BL13DZ

UNSPSC 85572229 Occlusion of trachea with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving tracheal occlusion devices, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve tracheal occlusion procedures or intraluminal devices. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to health services procurements that fall outside its intended scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix disability medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit management and County of Santa Clara temporary health staffing), Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), but these opportunities are not representative of the code's stated commodity. The issuing bodies include state departments, county governments, and city health systems, but without substantive recent solicitations actually purchasing tracheal occlusion devices or related intraluminal procedures, the code provides limited procurement signals for firms targeting state and local healthcare contracting. Business development professionals should verify their own product or service scope against the actual commodity definition rather than relying on recent posting patterns under this code.
