UNSPSC 85782419: Insertion of radioactive element into left lower leg, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into left lower leg, 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 0YHJ31Z

UNSPSC 85782419 Insertion of radioactive element into left lower leg, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities posted. The code nominally describes a specific radiological medical procedure, but state and local jurisdictions soliciting under this code are instead procuring occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve radioactive element insertion. The disconnect between the code's stated scope and the work actually being contracted suggests either systematic miscoding of medical procurement opportunities or that this particular code is not being used meaningfully in current state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach), county human resources and health departments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services and disability medical record summary preparation due October 16, 2026 with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians across 14 Washington ferry locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 across 13 ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physician services. The geographic and service-line diversity across these opportunities, combined with the fundamental mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope, suggests this code warrants review for recoding accuracy or that pursuit should focus on identifying opportunities miscoded to this code rather than assuming nominal alignment.
