UNSPSC 85831126: Extracorporeal hyperbaric oxygenation, intermittent

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a therapeutic intervention or procedure to extracorporeal hyperbaric oxygenation, intermittent. 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 5A05121

UNSPSC 85831126 Extracorporeal hyperbaric oxygenation, intermittent is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical nomenclature and the medical and occupational health services state and local governments are actually purchasing under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect hyperbaric oxygenation procurement; instead, they span disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involves hyperbaric therapy. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities are being tagged to this code, or that state and local procurement systems are using this code as a catch-all for medical and occupational health services outside traditional hospital and physician procurement channels.

The issuing bodies in the recent block include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program for center-of-excellence procedures (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code as currently applied does not appear to support meaningful business development focus until tagging accuracy improves.
