UNSPSC 85762046: Removal of radioactive element from mediastinum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element 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 0WPC31Z

UNSPSC 85762046 Removal of radioactive element from mediastinum, percutaneous approach, Commodity, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. The recent opportunities on file show no medical procedures matching the code's radiological intervention scope. Instead, the solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention healthcare, and independent medical examinations — none of which involve percutaneous removal of radioactive material from the mediastinum. This code shows little relevant recent activity for procurement professionals pursuing state and local contracts in the advertised scope.

The mismatch between the code descriptor and actual recent procurement signals that the code may be incorrectly applied by issuing bodies, or that the code is simply not in active use for its intended clinical application in state and local procurement. Absent evidence of genuine opportunities under the code's stated scope, this classification warrants either validation against the UNSPSC taxonomy maintenance process or reclassification of the tagged solicitations to more appropriate commodity codes.
