UNSPSC 85761915: Insertion of radioactive element into mediastinum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into 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 0WHC01Z

UNSPSC 85761915 Insertion of radioactive element into mediastinum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect its nominal clinical scope — which describes a specific surgical procedure involving radioactive implantation in the chest cavity — but instead span occupational health screening, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical procedure networks. The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or use of this code as a catch-all for medical services that do not fit narrower clinical procedure codes within the taxonomy.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a health system (Santa Clara Health System). Geographic representation spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers due October 9, 2026 (14 locations across Puget Sound); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP for disability determinations due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive temporary clinical staffing qualification pool due October 7, 2026 across 13 ancillary health professional categories. None of these solicitations involves radioactive implantation or the surgical procedure the code nominally describes, indicating the code is not a reliable indicator of actual procurement activity in this category.
