UNSPSC 85761737: Removal of radioactive element from pericardial cavity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from pericardial cavity, 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 0WPDX1Z

UNSPSC 85761737 Removal of radioactive element from pericardial cavity, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—a highly specialized cardiac surgical procedure—does not match the scope of work appearing in recent state and local solicitations, which focus instead on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing placement services.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve diverse issuing bodies including a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal health system (County of Santa Clara Health System), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and a municipal government (City of Long Beach). These solicitations span occupational medical examinations across multiple Washington State ferry locations, disability benefit medical record summaries for 75 annual public safety pension applications, comprehensive pharmacy benefit administration covering approximately 2,400 county employees and 4,800 covered family members, surgical specialty network management through Centers of Excellence for orthopedic and cardiac procedures on a voluntary basis, emergency and inpatient hospital-based care for detained youth, and non-exclusive temporary staffing pools across 13 ancillary health professional categories. The geographic spread extends across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a dominant repeat buyer. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and these opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the Commodity designation does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns under this particular code classification.
