UNSPSC 85572719: Drainage of trachea, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0B914ZZ

UNSPSC 85572719 Drainage of trachea, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in state and local markets. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tracheal drainage procedures. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how jurisdictions have tagged these opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between the code's intent and its application in state and local procurement systems. State and local buyers—including county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county human services agencies—are using this code to solicit administrative healthcare services, network management, and staffing rather than procedural clinical services.

The geographic spread of the few tagged opportunities spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any region. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code appears to see little relevant recent activity; the opportunities present suggest that state and local procurement offices may be applying this code inconsistently or that vendors pursuing healthcare-related work should verify actual scope alignment before responding to solicitations tagged under it.
