UNSPSC 85831103: Respiratory ventilation, greater than 96 consecutive hours

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a therapeutic intervention or procedure to respiratory ventilation, greater than 96 consecutive hours. This 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 5A1955Z

UNSPSC 85831103 Respiratory ventilation, greater than 96 consecutive hours is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—respiratory support equipment or services sustained for extended periods—does not match the medical and healthcare services actually being solicited under this code designation by state and local buyers during the past three months.

The most recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing (including respiratory care staff placement), independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determination, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. Only one of these solicitations—the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFQ posted July 7, 2026 with responses due October 7, 2026—explicitly names Respiratory Care as an eligible service category, though the solicitation establishes a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical placement without guaranteed work volume. State agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and the County of Santa Clara Health System have posted opportunities tagged to this code across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code assignment appears to reflect a data-entry or classification error rather than legitimate categorization of the medical services and staffing activities being solicited. Vendors specializing in respiratory support equipment, patient transport ventilation systems, or extended respiratory therapy should verify code alignment in pre-bid materials before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85831103.
