UNSPSC 85572700: Structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part D

This class includes one or more of 23 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0B.

UNSPSC 85572700 Structures of the tracheo-broncheal tree, percutaneous endoscopic approach—part D is a Class code showing little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical/procedural scope. The six state and local opportunities recently posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tracheo-broncheal structures or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health-services procurement that falls outside its intended clinical taxonomy. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal HR departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits administrations (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara).

Geographic concentration is limited to four states with recent activity: Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Washington (Ferries), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear pattern of repeat solicitation under this code. The two most recent representative opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services posted September 16, 2026 with proposals due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services posted August 25, 2026 with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026. Given the material disconnect between the code's stated clinical scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not appear to be an effective targeting mechanism for state and local procurement activity in any consistent commodity or service family.
