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 shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve medical administration, employee benefits, and occupational health services with no connection to interventional vascular procedures or drainage-device removal. The code's clinical and procedural specificity does not align with the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag.

The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in the procurement system or opportunistic application of a medical procedure code to unrelated health services contracting. State and local procurement offices do occasionally misclassify solicitations, particularly when applying medical taxonomy codes to health-plan administration and staffing services. Buyers should flag this code as inactive for procedural medical services and verify the correct UNSPSC classification if pursuing opportunities in municipal health benefits, occupational medicine, or clinical staffing for state and local healthcare systems.
