This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right hand 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 039D00Z

UNSPSC 85504144 Drainage of right hand artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a surgical procedure code from medical classification systems rather than a product or service category that state and local governments procure. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with the code's stated scope. The six opportunities in the block span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve drainage of arteries or surgical procedures on arterial systems. This code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement activity in a traditional sense.

The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied by posting jurisdictions as a default or placeholder rather than as an accurate classifier of the services being solicited. Procurement professionals evaluating activity under this code should treat it as low-signal for ongoing opportunities in surgical procedure delivery or related medical device procurement. The opportunities that do appear — pension medical evaluations through the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP due October 16, 2026), occupational surveillance through the Washington State Department of Transportation (proposal due October 9, 2026), and temporary staffing qualifications through Santa Clara County Health System (due October 7, 2026) — fall into occupational health and contingent staffing rather than procedural intervention or device supply, and bidders pursuing work in those domains would benefit from identifying and tracking the correct UNSPSC classifications for those service lines separately.
