This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into left pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0WHB41Z

UNSPSC 85762318 Insertion of radioactive element into left pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's technical clinical descriptor does not match the services state and local agencies are actually soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve radioactive element insertion or pleural cavity procedures.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 (proposals due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 (proposals due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 (proposals due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. The code shows no meaningful concentration by state or region — solicitations originate from Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the actual work being bought suggests this code may be miscoded in the underlying procurement system and does not represent a viable pursuit area under the code's stated scope.
