UNSPSC 85762042: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from mediastinum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute 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 0WPC3KZ

UNSPSC 85762042 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from mediastinum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for tissue removal via minimally invasive approach, yet the six most recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties. None of these solicitations involve tissue substitute removal or percutaneous mediastinal procedures. The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (Phoenix), a city human resources department (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health system (Santa Clara), and a county board of commissioners (Collier County) — a diverse mix of municipal, county, and state health and benefits administration entities rather than surgical providers or facilities.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, reflecting dispersed state and local health administration activity. Recent opportunities show no concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. The code appears to be misapplied to general health benefits and occupational health administration rather than surgical procedures; the most concrete recent solicitation under the code is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 (Independent Medical Evaluation Services, RFP due October 16, 2026) for disability medical record summarization and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension applications at a five-year contract value of $750,000. Given the mismatch between the code's surgical procedure scope and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited, this code carries minimal relevance for firms pursuing state and local medical or surgical contracting work.
