UNSPSC 85502715: Drainage of left temporal artery with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left temporal 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 039T00Z

UNSPSC 85502715 Drainage of left temporal artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with the nominal code scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and specialty medical services — none of which involve drainage procedures or vascular surgery. The code appears to be a misclassification in the procurement system rather than an active category for state and local buying activity.

The issuing bodies span a diverse mix of jurisdictions: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county procurement divisions (Collier County), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county health consortiums. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for shipyard workers and vessel crew across 14 ferry terminals statewide; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, for disability benefit applications under Arizona's public safety pension system with a $750,000 five-year contract value; and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026, covering ancillary clinical categories such as audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Because the code's nominal scope bears no relation to the actual procurement activity recorded under it, this code should be monitored for reclassification or corrected tagging rather than pursued as a representation of genuine drainage-procedure procurement.
