UNSPSC 85761954: Bypass left pleural cavity to left pleural cavity with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left pleural cavity to left pleural cavity with synthetic substitute, 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 0W1B0JB

UNSPSC 85761954 "Bypass left pleural cavity to left pleural cavity with synthetic substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that nominally names a surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the code's abstract descriptor. The most-recent opportunities solicited under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing placement, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which match the specific surgical procedure named in the code's taxonomy. This mismatch indicates the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly by posting jurisdictions and does not represent a coherent procurement category in actual state and local practice.

The recent opportunities span issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose health systems, with geographic activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, with historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million). Because the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to the work actually being solicited, this code should be treated as inactive or misapplied for procurement planning purposes; the underlying opportunities are substantive and active, but they represent medical services administration and staffing support rather than the surgical implant procedure the code nominally describes.
