This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of other device into 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 0WHB3YZ

UNSPSC 85762116 Insertion of other device into left pleural cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this tag. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical carve-out networks, independent medical evaluations for pension-disability determinations, emergency and inpatient care for detained youth, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which involve the medical device procedure named in the code itself. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a fundamental misalignment between how this Commodity code is being applied in state and local procurement systems and its intended medical-procedure taxonomy.

The geographic distribution of recent tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), with no single jurisdiction appearing as a repeat buyer under this code. Because the tagged opportunities do not reflect the code's stated medical-device scope, no representative procurement examples for actual pleural-cavity device insertion are present in the source. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should confirm proper coding with their procurement counterparties before investing bid-preparation resources, as the current tagging appears to conflate unrelated health services contracting with a specific surgical-device commodity.
