UNSPSC 85761747: Removal of radioactive element from left pleural cavity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from left pleural 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 0WPBX1Z

UNSPSC 85761747 Removal of radioactive element from left pleural cavity, external approach is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 in the recent-opportunities block—independent medical evaluation services (Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System)—involve medical administration, temporary clinical staffing, benefit plan design, and occupational health screening, none of which align with the code's scope of invasive radioactive element removal from a pleural cavity. The code is tagged to solicitations that describe health services contracting and benefit plan management at the state and local level, but the actual work being bought does not match the code's clinical procedure designation.

State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this clinical procedure code to broader health services and benefits administration categories in error. No issuing body is pursuing the specialized thoracic radiological procedure named in the code itself. Until recent opportunities demonstrate actual demand for pleural cavity radioactive element removal services—or clarification that the code is being used for a different scope of work—this code presents no actionable procurement signal for business development.
