UNSPSC 85762054: Removal of synthetic substitute from right pleural cavity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 0WP93JZ

UNSPSC 85762054 Removal of synthetic substitute from right pleural cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification reveal that state and local agencies are instead buying occupational medical surveillance services, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations span occupational health compliance, pension benefit administration, employee health plan design, temporary clinical staffing, and detention healthcare—none of which correspond to the code's defined scope of a single thoracic surgical intervention.

The issuing-body mix includes state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits under its employee health plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The code as currently tagged appears to be a classification mismatch; buyers seeking actual pleural cavity surgical procedures would not surface under this code in state and local procurement channels.
