UNSPSC 85782254: Insertion of radioactive element into right lower leg, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into right lower leg, 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 0YHH01Z

UNSPSC 85782254 Insertion of radioactive element into right lower leg, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for radioactive brachytherapy or interstitial radiation therapy of the lower extremity; however, the most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code are independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for government employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities involve insertion of radioactive elements or the specific surgical procedure the code describes; the mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in the issuing bodies' UNSPSC assignment or that the code is being used as a placeholder for a broader health services category that does not align with its commodity definition.

The geographic spread of activity under this code label spans California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, counties, state transportation departments, and county health systems. Because the recent opportunities are substantively unrelated to the code's nominal scope—involving staffing, benefits administration, examinations, and surveillance rather than any form of radioactive surgical intervention—business development professionals should treat this code as showing insufficient relevant procurement activity for opportunity pursuit. Clarification of the actual UNSPSC code assignments for these health services categories would be advisable before making market-entry decisions based on this commodity classification.
