UNSPSC 85765144: Extirpation of matter from peritoneal cavity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from peritoneal cavity, 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 0WCG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85765144 Extirpation of matter from peritoneal cavity, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, shows limited alignment between its nominal medical procedure classification and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve peritoneal cavity procedures or interventional radiology. The issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and county probation departments, reflecting a broad cross-section of public-sector healthcare administration and benefits management.

The geographic spread encompasses Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's proposal request for occupational medical surveillance services supporting the Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026, contract execution targeted April 1, 2027); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award with no guaranteed work). The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact; procurement professionals should verify the actual work scope in each opportunity rather than relying on the code's peritoneal procedure designation.
