UNSPSC 85761757: Removal of radioactive element from chest wall, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from chest wall, 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 0WP8X1Z

UNSPSC 85761757 Removal of radioactive element from chest wall, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are dominated by administrative and occupational health services — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the removal of radioactive material from anatomical sites. This mismatch between code label and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for unrelated medical administration and staffing services.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and county commissioners' procurement divisions across multiple regions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a two-year term and optional extensions; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending around $8.7 million. Geographic activity centers on Arizona, Washington State, California, and Florida. Given the consistent mismatch between code semantics and recent opportunity substance, this code warrants verification with individual procurement offices before bid pursuit, as actual work sought may fall under unrelated UNSPSC families tied to staffing, benefits administration, or occupational health rather than surgical oncology.
