UNSPSC 85761832: Supplement mediastinum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement mediastinum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0WUC0KZ

UNSPSC 85761832 Supplement mediastinum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect surgical implant materials or operative services. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, specialty surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These are administrative and operational healthcare services rather than mediastinal surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and city governments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The code does not reflect a coherent procurement category aligned with its nominal definition.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for Washington State Ferries with a due date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications with a due date of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach solicited surgical procedure carve-out services for employee health plans with a due date of October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories with a due date of October 7, 2026. The code shows significant semantic mismatch between its statutory definition and actual procurement activity, suggesting either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data alignment issue that warrants verification before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
