This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of upper 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 039Y00Z

UNSPSC 85503641 Drainage of upper artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually purchasing under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pension disability benefit evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and independent public-sector health systems. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding of health services contracts or a data-quality issue in the UNSPSC assignment pipeline.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast, with solicitations from Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026) with a two-year initial term and extension options. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the apparent mismatch between code name and actual procurement activity, vendors should verify code classification directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this category.
