UNSPSC 85572932: Insertion of radioactive element into left lung, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into left lung, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0BHL71Z

UNSPSC 85572932 "Insertion of radioactive element into left lung, via natural or artificial opening" is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, emergency and specialty medical care for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve radioactive implantation or brachytherapy procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and health benefit consortia across multiple states and jurisdictions.

Recent activity shows no state or local government actually procuring radioactive-element insertion services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach is soliciting surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to have been applied as a data classification error rather than reflecting actual procurement intent. Pursuing opportunities under this code is not recommended without confirming that the issuing body's actual scope of work aligns with radioactive implantation services.
