UNSPSC 85652120: Extirpation of matter from right thorax muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right thorax muscle, 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 0KCH4ZZ

UNSPSC 85652120 Extirpation of matter from right thorax muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's clinical procedure nomenclature does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this designation. Of the six opportunities tagged to the code, only one—the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation—involves medical services consistent with health screening and examination; the others address pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, and emergency services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations concern thoracic surgical extraction procedures.

The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement source data or inconsistent application of UNSPSC taxonomy by issuing bodies. The recent opportunities do reflect activity from state health systems, counties, cities, and special districts conducting competitive procurements for clinical and occupational health services across multiple states (Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington), but none appear to be purchasing the specific surgical procedure indicated by the code's title. Firms evaluating this code should verify the actual scope they intend to pursue against the exact language in any future solicitation before committing resources to bidding.
