UNSPSC 85505144: Drainage of right hand artery with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right hand artery with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 039D40Z

UNSPSC 85505144 Drainage of right hand artery with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a substantial mismatch: state and local procurement offices are buying independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, surgical benefit carve-outs and pharmacy benefit management for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing for a county health system, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations address the specific percutaneous endoscopic drainage procedure the code nominally describes. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly across these opportunities, suggesting either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are actually tagging health-services work.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The Phoenix solicitation (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Ferries solicitation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requests occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals with two-year initial and optional five-year extension terms. These represent the most concrete opportunities with defined scope and timeline, but neither aligns with the code's stated procedural focus. Absent clarification on why these opportunities are tagged to a percutaneous drainage procedure code, the code does not represent a usable category for business development targeting under this code name.
