UNSPSC 85765233: Insertion of radioactive element into pelvic cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into pelvic 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 0WHJ41Z

UNSPSC 85765233 Insertion of radioactive element into pelvic cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent state and local opportunities posted under this code — medical evaluation services, surgical benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — bear no relationship to radioactive brachytherapy procedures. State and local procurement databases appear to have tagged these opportunities with this code in error; none of the solicitations reference oncology, radiation therapy, or any procedure involving radioactive implants.

The mismatch is systematic across multiple issuing bodies and geographies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought disability medical record review and examination scheduling; the City of Long Beach requested surgical Center of Excellence networks for orthopedic and cardiac procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management administration; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, cardiology, radiology, and therapy services. None of these scopes involve percutaneous endoscopic insertion of radioactive elements. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and verify coding against actual opportunity scope before committing pursuit effort.
