UNSPSC 85831109: Assistance with respiratory ventilation, greater than 96 consecutive hours, intermittent negative airway pressure

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a therapeutic intervention or procedure to assistance with respiratory ventilation, greater than 96 consecutive hours, intermittent negative airway pressure. 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 5A0955B

UNSPSC 85831109 Assistance with respiratory ventilation, greater than 96 consecutive hours, intermittent negative airway pressure (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records tagged to this code with limited recent direct relevance; the opportunities posted under this code in the past two months address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing rather than respiratory-ventilation assistance or mechanical ventilation services. Of the six opportunities identified in the recent-opportunities block, only one—the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP—names respiratory care among eligible service categories, and that reference is peripheral to the core occupational health mission. The remaining five solicitations (City of Phoenix disability medical evaluations, City of Long Beach surgical benefits carve-out, Harris County Juvenile Probation emergency and specialty medical services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing) do not align with respiratory-ventilation assistance as the code defines it. Issuing bodies active in the block span state departments, county human services and health systems, and city retirement and employee-benefits offices, but none are soliciting respiratory-ventilation services as a primary scope.

Geographic activity in recent postings concentrates in California, Florida, Washington, and Arizona, with administrative and benefits-focused opportunities anchored in urban county seats and major municipalities. The Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) includes respiratory-care positioning within a broader occupational-health framework covering shipyard and vessel-crew personnel across 14 Washington State ferry locations. Given the substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local records, this code warrants close attention only for firms positioned to deliver occupational respiratory-health services as a component of larger medical-surveillance programs; otherwise, activity appears sparse and misaligned with the respiratory-ventilation-assistance commodity definition.
