UNSPSC 85573315: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from diaphragm, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from diaphragm, open 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 0BPT0KZ

UNSPSC 85573315 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from diaphragm, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the code's stated clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, hospital-based emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve removal of tissue substitutes from the diaphragm. This mismatch suggests either a systematic classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or a data integrity issue within the state and local procurement system; the code does not support meaningful business development activity targeting its nominal clinical scope.

Recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The Washington State Ferries solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance services; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) requests independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System issues a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Absent a clear connection between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited, this code warrants exclusion from active pursuit workflows.
