This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left brachial 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 039800Z

UNSPSC 85504154 Drainage of left brachial artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it involve occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care network administration, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which align with the procedural code's intent. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting drainage or vascular surgical services under this code in the current procurement environment.

The recent opportunities listed under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including county health systems, state transportation agencies, pension boards, county commissioners, and county juvenile justice authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but they reflect a cataloging error rather than active demand for the procedure the code nominally describes. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026) are representative of the tagged opportunities, but none involve vascular or cardiac surgical drainage procedures. Firms pursuing contracts under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before investing in proposals; the current tagging provides no reliable signal of actual procurement intent in this category.
