UNSPSC 85761847: Removal of other device from mediastinum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of other device from mediastinum, 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 0WPC0YZ

UNSPSC 85761847 Removal of other device from mediastinum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency care coordination — none of which represent the surgical removal of mediastinal devices. The code appears to have been applied broadly to health service procurement by state and local issuing bodies, but the actual work being solicited falls outside the code's intended meaning as a surgical procedure descriptor.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city government health programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county human resources divisions (Collier County). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit assessments for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's application to general health service procurement rather than surgical procedure coding suggests that business development professionals should treat this code as a low-utility signal for targeting and instead rely on Family or Segment-level codes tied to the specific health service type being pursued.
