UNSPSC 85763220: Insertion of radioactive element into gastrointestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into gastrointestinal tract, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0WHP71Z

UNSPSC 85763220 Insertion of radioactive element into gastrointestinal tract via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code showing minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific radiological medical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve insertion of radioactive elements into the gastrointestinal tract. The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either tagging error by issuing agencies or a systemic classification issue within this jurisdiction's procurement taxonomy.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including a state department of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and a county human resources consortium (Collier County Health Care Consortium). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's continued use for non-radiological healthcare procurement suggests that state and local agencies are not currently buying work that matches the code's stated scope.
