UNSPSC 85781721: Insertion of radioactive element into left foot, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into left foot, open 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 0YHN01Z

UNSPSC 85781721, Insertion of radioactive element into left foot, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving radioactive implant insertion—does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local agencies under this designation. Recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs, independent disability medical evaluations, and youth detention emergency medical services. None of these procurements involve radioactive element insertion or the specific surgical procedure the code describes. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county health systems—representing diverse service categories and administrative structures across multiple states.

The code shows activity in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington over August and September 2026, but the opportunities are driven by administrative and clinical staffing needs rather than the code's stated procedure. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) are representative of recent postings, yet neither involves radioactive procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a systematic classification error in the underlying state and local procurement systems or that the code is being misapplied as a catch-all for unrelated clinical and medical services. Bidders should verify the actual scope statement and attachments in any opportunity tagged with this code before developing a proposal, as the UNSPSC designation alone provides no reliable indicator of the work being purchased.
