UNSPSC 85572525: Removal of extraluminal device from trachea, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of extraluminal device 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 0BP14CZ

UNSPSC 85572525 Removal of extraluminal device from trachea, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span medical staffing, benefits administration, pharmacy management, occupational health surveillance, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve tracheal device removal. The recent solicitations indicate that state and local buying offices have mislabeled these opportunities under the code, or the code has been applied to medical services procurement more broadly rather than to a specific surgical intervention.

Activity appears concentrated among health system administrators, county benefits agencies, and public safety employers in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations), City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks), Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing) represent the recent issuers. Without confirmed opportunities directly addressing tracheal device removal or related endoscopic surgical services, pursuit of this code for work genuinely aligned with its nominal scope carries high risk of mislabeling and wasted qualification effort. Vendors offering clinical staffing, occupational health surveillance, or healthcare benefits administration should monitor this code with skepticism—the opportunities appearing under it do not reflect the procedure the code nominally describes.
