This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a therapeutic intervention or procedure to assistance with respiratory ventilation, less than 24 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 5A0935Z

UNSPSC 85831118 Assistance with respiratory ventilation, less than 24 consecutive hours is a Commodity code under which state and local governments are procuring occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, and temporary clinical staffing — services that may include respiratory care assessment and monitoring as part of broader occupational or clinical health delivery. The code's nominal scope does not align closely with the recent solicitations surfaced, which center on occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties. Of these, only the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP and the Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing solicitation explicitly reference respiratory care as a line item; the others address medical administration, formulary management, and specialty care coordination. The issuing bodies represent a mix of 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 municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). None of these solicitations emphasize respiratory ventilation services as a primary deliverable.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with recent RFPs posted between July and September 2026. The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requires examinations across 14 Washington ferry terminals with cost-based evaluation weighting 40 percent on pricing and 60 percent on capability; the County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) explicitly lists Respiratory Care as one of thirteen ancillary health professional categories without guaranteed volume. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) centers on medical record summary and independent examinations for pension benefit determination, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. None of the sourced opportunities frame respiratory ventilation assistance as the primary service category, and the code shows limited direct alignment with current state and local procurement activity.
