This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass peritoneal cavity to left pleural cavity with synthetic substitute, 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 0W1G4JB

UNSPSC 85765263 Bypass peritoneal cavity to left pleural cavity with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The nominal code scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations—spanning independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare—represent general healthcare administration, professional staffing, and benefit management rather than the peritoneal-to-pleural bypass procedure named in the code. State and local purchasing offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for healthcare services outside core operational procurement categories, creating a mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the work actually being solicited.

The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a large city HR department (City of Long Beach), a state transportation authority (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile detention system (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and a county health system. Recent opportunities span the continental United States, with notable activity in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's semantic mismatch with actual procurement activity, this category warrants recoding review before committing resources to pursue opportunities under it.
