UNSPSC 85761919: Insertion of other device into right pleural cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of other device into 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 0WH90YZ

UNSPSC 85761919 Insertion of other device into right pleural cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect a fundamental mismatch: the code's nominal taxonomy describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the posted solicitations under it encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve pleural cavity device insertion. The tagging appears to be a taxonomy classification error rather than a signal of actual procurement demand for the procedure named in the code.

The opportunities that do appear under this code originate from health systems and public employers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSF) is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners is seeking pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. The code's taxonomy placement does not align with the work being solicited, and business development strategy should focus on the functional categories that these bodies are actually buying—medical staffing, benefit administration, and occupational health services—rather than the pleural procedure code itself.
