UNSPSC 85504160: Drainage of right axillary artery with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right axillary 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 039500Z

UNSPSC 85504160 Drainage of right axillary artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities identified in the recent posting record. The code nominally describes a specific surgical drainage procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington—solicit independent medical evaluation services, health plan surgical procedure carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve axillary artery drainage or related vascular surgery procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the state and local procurement system or that the code has been misapplied to administrative and clinical support services rather than the surgical procedure it nominally names.

The recent opportunities indicate that state and local procurement bodies—including city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and county health systems—are actively soliciting for occupational health administration and clinical staffing support rather than surgical procedures. Geographic activity spans the Pacific West (Washington, California), the Southwest (Arizona), the Southeast (Florida), and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations ($750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, and Santa Clara County Health System's October 7, 2026 qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. Given the absence of any recent opportunities matching the code's stated surgical scope, the code appears inactive for its nominal commodity line and should be treated as a low-priority pursuit opportunity unless classification errors are resolved upstream.
