UNSPSC 85572523 Removal of tracheostomy device from trachea, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve tracheostomy device removal or any tracheostomy-related procedure. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that has been misapplied or misaligned with state and local procurement taxonomy in practice.

The issuing bodies in the recent activity block span state health and transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). The geographic distribution includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414). The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope.
