UNSPSC 85511522: Drainage of right renal artery with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right renal 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 049900Z

UNSPSC 85511522 "Drainage of right renal artery with drainage device, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — a medical intervention performed on the right renal artery — yet the most recent opportunities posted under it include independent medical evaluation services for pension benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve renal artery drainage or align with the procedural scope the code nominally describes.

The mismatch indicates either a classification error in the source data or that this code is being used to tag health-care-adjacent purchasing activity more broadly. State and local governments do solicit medical services regularly — the City of Phoenix is seeking independent medical evaluators ($750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach is procuring surgical center-of-excellence networks (proposals due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing — but these opportunities represent procurement of evaluation, coordination, and staffing services, not surgical procedures or medical devices. The code shows no relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing renal artery drainage products or services.
