UNSPSC 85761713: Revision of radioactive element in mediastinum, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of radioactive element in mediastinum, external 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 0WWCX1Z

UNSPSC 85761713 Revision of radioactive element in mediastinum, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a medical procedure for removing radioactive material from the chest cavity using external surgical access—a highly specialized oncology or cardiothoracic intervention—yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a much broader mix of occupational health, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence coordination, and temporary health professional staffing services. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state transportation departments, county health systems, county human resources divisions, county juvenile probation departments, city retirement offices, and municipal health benefit administrators across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The scope mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing offices or that state procurement systems are using this code as a catch-all for medical services procurement outside traditional clinical delivery.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) requesting disability medical record review and physician examination scheduling for pension benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out and centers-of-excellence management services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code sees activity across multiple states but no clear geographic concentration. The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual work being procured—primarily administrative health services, occupational surveillance, and staffing coordination rather than direct surgical intervention—suggests this code is not reliably used for pursuing medical procedure services at the state and local level.
