UNSPSC 85503640: Drainage of upper artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 039Y0ZZ

UNSPSC 85503640 Drainage of upper artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The posted opportunities under this code do not involve surgical drainage procedures; instead, they reflect purchasing of occupational health screening, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's medical-procedure name and the actual goods and services being solicited suggests this code is not currently in use for appropriate medical-services purchasing by state and local jurisdictions, or that the tagging is erroneous. The recent solicitations target established healthcare service providers and staffing firms rather than surgical specialists.

Recent activity appears across multiple states and county systems. The Washington State Department of Transportation (via Washington State Ferries) posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026, requesting occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach released HR26753 on August 26, 2026, for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management with a due date of October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, to establish a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool with an October 7, 2026 deadline. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued a preliminary RFI (071626BNM) on August 24, 2026, with a response deadline of September 25, 2026. Given the substantial divergence between the code's stated scope and the actual opportunities posted, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for business development targeting state and local health and human services contracting.
