UNSPSC 85762048: Removal of other device from left pleural cavity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of other device from left pleural cavity, 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 0WPB3YZ

UNSPSC 85762048 Removal of other device from left pleural cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The recent opportunities block contains six solicitations, five of which address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve pleural cavity procedures. Only one solicitation (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026) has broad enough language to potentially encompass device removal, but the source provides no detail confirming that scope. The code shows material mislabeling or miscategorization in state and local procurement systems.

Activity under this code is geographically scattered across California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (state ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no issuing body appearing more than once. The issuing bodies are county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county benefits consortiums. Because the recent opportunities do not genuinely reflect the code's stated clinical scope, business development professionals should verify whether opportunities are actually being coded correctly before pursuing work under this Commodity code — the mislabeling suggests either data-quality issues in the procurement system or that the code is not being used as intended.
