UNSPSC 85762043: Removal of synthetic substitute from mediastinum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0WPC3JZ

UNSPSC 85762043 Removal of synthetic substitute from mediastinum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code—including independent medical evaluation services for pension board disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not align with the code's clinical specification for a percutaneous mediastinal procedure. State and local purchasing offices appear to have tagged these health-system and employee-benefit opportunities with a procedure code that describes a specific surgical intervention rather than the administrative, occupational health, or benefit-management services actually being procured. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the UNSPSC taxonomy in a way that does not reflect the narrower scope this Commodity code is designed to capture.

No state and local procurement activity directly matching the removal of synthetic material from the mediastinum via percutaneous approach has been identified in recent solicitations. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for business development purposes and verify coding accuracy if considering a pursuit under any of the health services opportunities listed above.
