UNSPSC 85572522: Removal of synthetic substitute from trachea, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from trachea, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0BP14JZ

UNSPSC 85572522 Removal of synthetic substitute from trachea, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical-procedure name does not match the work actually appearing in posted opportunities. Recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve tracheal procedures or percutaneous endoscopic work. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a fallback category for medical-service procurement broadly.

Activity under the code spans state departments, counties, and municipalities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001, RFP, response due October 16, 2026) is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations at a maximum $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026) is seeking occupational medical surveillance services for ferry personnel across 14 locations; the City of Long Beach (HR26753, RFP, response due October 7, 2026) is requesting a surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026) is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties. The code shows no clear thematic coherence and warrants review for potential recoding before pursuit.
