UNSPSC 85762333: Extirpation of matter from left pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0WCB4ZZ

UNSPSC 85762333 Extirpation of matter from left pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code do not align with the specific surgical procedure described; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. This mismatch indicates the code is being applied inconsistently or serves as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than capturing the discrete pleural cavity procedure the code nominally names.

The issuing bodies in the recent records include state health departments (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division), county public health systems (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), city retirement offices (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), and municipal governments (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual cases with a five-year contract value of $750,000, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferries locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with contract options extending to five years. Given the divergence between the code's surgical specificity and the service categories actually being solicited, pursuit under this code would benefit from clarification with issuing bodies on their coding rationale before resource allocation.
