UNSPSC 85761916: Insertion of other device into left pleural cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of other device into left 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 0WHB0YZ

UNSPSC 85761916 Insertion of other device into left pleural cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect administrative healthcare management and occupational medical services rather than medical devices or implantable medical procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices seeking services such as independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing across clinical support categories (audiology, radiology, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical support).

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with opportunities from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026); City of Long Beach (HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out program administration, due October 7, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM for specialty and emergency medical services, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical implant procedure—appears unrelated to the work actually being solicited. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as a low-priority opportunity given the disconnect between the procedural classification and the administrative and staffing services dominating current state and local activity.
