UNSPSC 85761956: Bypass left pleural cavity to cutaneous 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 cutaneous 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 0W1B0J4

UNSPSC 85761956, Bypass left pleural cavity to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity), does not align with state and local government procurement activity. Recent solicitations tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical benefit networks, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for detained youth, and independent medical examinations—none of which describe surgical bypass procedures or implantable synthetic substitutes. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification misapplied to administrative and operational health services contracting.

The solicitations actually being issued under this code reflect purchasing by diverse state and local bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability benefits), the City of Long Beach (surgical care-out benefits management for municipal employees), the Washington State Department of Transportation/Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under a $750,000 five-year contract, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations. The code shows no relevant activity for firms in surgical device manufacturing or healthcare provider networks focused on procedural interventions.
