UNSPSC 85831114: Assistance with respiratory ventilation, 24-96 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, 24-96 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 5A0945B

UNSPSC 85831114 Assistance with respiratory ventilation, 24–96 consecutive hours, intermittent negative airway pressure is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records but shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute respiratory ventilation assistance or negative airway pressure therapies as the code describes. The disconnect suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code label to a broader family of occupational health and medical evaluation services rather than to the discrete respiratory clinical intervention the code nominally names.

The issuing bodies in the recent activity span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and administrative agencies (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The most directly relevant recent opportunity is WSDOT RFP20260825 Medical Surveillance, issued by the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, due October 9, 2026, which procures occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations with occupational-medicine-board-certified physicians and a two-year initial term with optional extensions. Given the mismatch between the code's respiratory-therapy focus and the occupational and administrative health services actually being solicited, this code warrants a skip unless your firm's service lines include occupational health program administration or independent medical evaluation services unrelated to respiratory care.
