UNSPSC 85762334: Extirpation of matter from right pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 0WC94ZZ

UNSPSC 85762334 Extirpation of matter from right pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity bears little relationship to the scope its formal name suggests. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these match the procedure named in the code—a surgical intervention for pleural effusion. The mismatch suggests that either the code has been applied inconsistently across jurisdictions or that the source data contains a classification error. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county human resources divisions, and county juvenile justice agencies. The issuing-body mix spans California, Washington, Arizona, and Florida—from large metropolitan areas (Long Beach, Phoenix, Seattle, and Miami-Dade County via Harris County) to mid-sized counties (Santa Clara, Collier).

The geographic distribution of recent activity clusters in the West and South, with the most recent opportunities originating from Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries (medical surveillance across 14 state ferry locations, pre-bid August 31, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty services RFI, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026 with historical annual spend of $8.7 million), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, due October 7, 2026). Given the substantial disconnect between the code's formal procedure name and the health-services administration, staffing, and occupational health work actually being solicited, this code warrants caution; the activity may reflect upstream data-quality issues rather than a genuine procurement category for pleural procedures in the state and local market.
