This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left internal mammary artery with drainage device, open approach. This surgical 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 039100Z

UNSPSC 85501728 Drainage of left internal mammary artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve drainage procedures, surgical devices, or cardiac interventions. Instead, state and local issuers are procuring occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing services. The code's clinical specificity appears misaligned with how purchasing offices are classifying health services work in practice.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single geography concentrating the solicitations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026, anticipated go-live April 1, 2027); Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 members (due April 9, 2026, three-year term effective January 1, 2026, historical spend $8.7 million annually); the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with five-year shelf life); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). Given the fundamental scope mismatch, opportunities under this code warrant close scrutiny — issuers may be using an incorrect code assignment, or the code itself may serve a data-entry function disconnected from actual procurement intent.
