UNSPSC 85573751: Removal of monitoring device from pleura, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from pleura, 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 0BPQ42Z

UNSPSC 85573751 "Removal of monitoring device from pleura, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific clinical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under this code actually seek occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve thoracic procedures or pleural device removal. The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement systems, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices. This geographic and functional mismatch indicates either systematic tagging error or code misapplication in the state and local procurement systems that assigned these opportunities.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations; the City of Long Beach posted RFP HR26753 (due October 7, 2026) for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management through Centers of Excellence; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFP RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. No opportunities under this code reflect the pleural device removal procedure the Commodity designation nominally describes. Firms pursuing activity under this code should verify accurate code assignment during pre-bid cycles and Q&A phases, as the mismatch between nominal scope and actual procurement intent creates substantial risk of proposal misalignment.
