UNSPSC 85761918: Insertion of radioactive element into left pleural cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element 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 0WHB01Z

UNSPSC 85761918 Insertion of radioactive element into left pleural cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a highly specialized medical procedure involving radioactive isotope insertion into the pleural cavity—bears no relation to the opportunities currently posted under this code classification.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison (Columbus Consolidated Government, RFP due May 15, 2026), pharmacy benefit management for a county health plan (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP due April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees and dependents (Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, RFP due April 16, 2026), peer support services for peer workers (San Mateo County Health, RFP due July 2, 2025), and a fire department medical director contract (Santa Monica Fire Department, RFP due October 16, 2025). These solicitations span primary care delivery, pharmacy management, behavioral health support, and medical administration—none of which involve radioactive element insertion or any procedure matching the code's description. The mismatch suggests either a classification error by one or more issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between the code's intended use and current procurement practice in state and local government.
