UNSPSC 85762063: Removal of radioactive element from chest wall, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from chest wall, 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 0WP831Z

UNSPSC 85762063, Removal of radioactive element from chest wall, percutaneous approach (Commodity), shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a highly specific radiological procedure code—and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations involve independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve removal of radioactive material or percutaneous chest wall procedures. The code sees activity from city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation authorities, and municipal employee benefits programs, but the work being solicited bears no meaningful relationship to the code's stated clinical content.

The geographic spread of recent tagging includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in 12 ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be mislabeled in state and local procurement systems; firms should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing these opportunities.
