UNSPSC 85572848: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from diaphragm, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from diaphragm, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0BPT8KZ

UNSPSC 85572848 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from diaphragm, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal procedural scope and recent state and local contract activity. The code's technical medical designation targets a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code instead reflect acquisition of occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations span medical administration, benefits management, and staffing—categories fundamentally distinct from surgical tissue removal procedures. State and local issuers posting under this code include city pension boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board through the City of Phoenix Retirement Office), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county procurement offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System, City of Long Beach). The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement signals either systematic miscoding of opportunities or that UNSPSC 85572848 is not the appropriate taxonomy match for the work being solicited.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, Washington State, Texas (Harris County), Florida (Collier County and City of Long Beach), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026; proposals due October 16, 2026; $750,000 total maximum compensation over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (posted August 25, 2026; proposals due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (posted July 7, 2026; proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent activity genuinely purchasing surgical procedures or tissue-removal services at the state and local level.
