UNSPSC 85762154: Bypass right pleural cavity to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right pleural cavity to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, 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 0W193J4

UNSPSC 85762154, "Bypass right pleural cavity to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach," is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities reflect requests for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the pleural bypass procedure the code names. State and local buyers are using this code to solicit medical and health services procurement across multiple service lines, not the discrete surgical intervention the taxonomy nominally identifies.

The issuing bodies span county health systems, county commissioners offices, state transportation departments, city retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments. Recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for municipal employees, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties, RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast, with activity in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The mismatch between code definition and actual work procurement suggests either systematic miscoding at source or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for medical-services solicitations outside standard health-services taxonomies—either way, the code shows limited decision relevance for vendors pursuing state and local medical-device or procedural-supply opportunities.
