UNSPSC 85762041: Removal of other device from mediastinum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of other device from mediastinum, percutaneous 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 0WPC3YZ

UNSPSC 85762041, Removal of other device from mediastinum, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical scope does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The recent opportunities include independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing placement—none of which involve percutaneous mediastinal device removal. State and local procurement offices are applying this code to general healthcare administration, employee benefits management, and occupational health services, not to the specific surgical procedure its name implies. The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county human resources divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners).

Recent opportunities show activity in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management due October 7, 2026 with a go-live target of April 1, 2027; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a two-year initial term and options to extend through five additional one-year periods; and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows active procurement volume but carries a significant scope mismatch—the opportunities reflect administrative healthcare services and benefits management rather than the surgical intervention the code nominally describes, suggesting potential tagging error in source systems or an instance of UNSPSC misapplication in state and local procurement.
