UNSPSC 85573534: Removal of monitoring device from pleura, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from pleura, percutaneous 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 0BPQ32Z

UNSPSC 85573534, Removal of monitoring device from pleura, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—the percutaneous removal of a pleural monitoring device—yet the most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve pleural device removal or procedural interventions matching the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the jurisdictional level or that this code does not meaningfully track the work state and local governments are actually buying under its umbrella.

The issuing bodies represented include county health systems (Santa Clara), county human resources and benefits administration (Collier County, Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington Department of Transportation), a state retirement board (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and a county juvenile justice department (Harris County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (due October 7, 2026). Given the structural mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the health administration and occupational health services actually being solicited, this code does not serve as a reliable indicator of state and local procurement opportunity.
