UNSPSC 85761861: Removal of infusion device from right pleural cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from right pleural cavity, 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 0WP903Z

UNSPSC 85761861 Removal of infusion device from right pleural cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — the removal of a pleural infusion device via open surgical approach — yet the solicitations tagged to it reflect healthcare services procurement entirely unrelated to this surgical intervention, including pension-benefit disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical care coordination through centers of excellence, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the opportunity-classification process or a fundamental misalignment between the code taxonomy and how issuing bodies are applying it to their procurements.

The recent opportunities do document purchasing activity across state departments, counties, and large municipal health systems — the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), Harris County (specialty medical services), the City of Long Beach (surgical care coordination), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Activity spans Washington, Florida, Texas, California, and Arizona, with response dates clustered between early October and mid-April 2026. However, none of these solicitations involve removal of pleural infusion devices or the procedural work the code nominally describes, rendering the code classification unreliable for business development targeting state and local procurement under this specific Commodity code.
