UNSPSC 85503629: Removal of drainage device from upper artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from upper artery, 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 03PY00Z

UNSPSC 85503629 Removal of drainage device from upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited in recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — the percutaneous removal of a drainage catheter from an upper-extremity artery — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span correctional healthcare contracting, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care services, peer support programs for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve removal of drainage devices or upper-artery procedures.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code taxonomy and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data-classification error upstream. The five recent opportunities — including the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (posted April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP 628 for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County BHRS's RFP 2025-007 for peer support services ($580,000 total funding), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 for medical direction services (due October 16, 2025) — represent healthcare administration, population health management, and behavioral health contracting rather than surgical or vascular interventions. The code shows little relevant recent activity for procurement professionals pursuing surgical-device-removal or vascular-intervention contracting at the state or local level.
