UNSPSC 85511502: Drainage of left peroneal artery with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left peroneal 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 049U00Z

UNSPSC 85511502 Drainage of left peroneal artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to have no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedural definition. The six recent opportunities posted under or near this code—spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgery benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare purchasing, occupational health programs, benefits design, and workforce solutions, none of which involve surgical drainage procedures or implantable vascular devices. The code designation does not match the actual work being solicited by state and local buyers.

The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the administrative and occupational health services actually being tagged suggests either a classification error in the source data or a fundamental disconnection between UNSPSC's clinical taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices categorize healthcare services contracting. No recent opportunities show demand for the specific clinical service the code nominally describes. Buyers in this dataset—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are pursuing vendor relationships for benefits administration, occupational medicine compliance, and temporary staffing, not procedural or device supply.
