UNSPSC 85511540: Drainage of abdominal aorta with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of abdominal aorta 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 049000Z

UNSPSC 85511540 Drainage of abdominal aorta with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical procedures, implantable devices, or clinical interventions matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities center on health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, youth detention healthcare coordination, and temporary clinical staffing — all distinctly outside the code's stated focus on surgical drainage procedures and devices.

The mismatch reflects a broader tagging inconsistency rather than a legitimate market for abdominal aortic drainage devices and services at the state and local level. State and local governments do purchase medical services and plan administration through counties, cities, and special-purpose health authorities — as evidenced by the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical evaluations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefits carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414). However, none of these solicitations involve the procurement of surgical devices, operative procedures, or drainage systems. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and vendors pursuing surgical device placements or operating-room services should not rely on this code as a reliable market signal for state and local opportunities.
