UNSPSC 85761932: Extirpation of matter from mediastinum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0WCC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85761932 Extirpation of matter from mediastinum, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—surgical procedure coding—does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code reflect occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, behavioral health services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for government employee health plans, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve mediastinal surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the UNSPSC tagging applied by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical definition and how state and local procurement offices are using the code in practice. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

State and local procurement activity under this code is concentrated in a handful of issuing bodies across three states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation / Washington State Ferries (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations covering 75 annual applications, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 ferry system locations, with a two-year term and optional five one-year extensions. Neither opportunity involves the code's stated mediastinal surgical scope, and the absence of additional mediastinal-procedure solicitations across these or other jurisdictions suggests this code is not currently a meaningful state and local procurement target.
