UNSPSC 85513126: Drainage of left colic artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left colic artery with drainage device, percutaneous 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 049730Z

UNSPSC 85513126, Drainage of left colic artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific interventional radiology procedure, yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification address independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations span administrative healthcare services, occupational medicine, and benefits management—none of which involve the clinical drainage procedure the code name suggests. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, county commissioners, and juvenile probation departments.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington, California, Arizona, and Florida, with no clear concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) requires board-certified occupational physicians at 14 ferry system locations and is scored 40 percent on cost and 60 percent on capability. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical record summary preparation and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, with a $750,000 maximum compensation over five years. The County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) establishes a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physician services. Code assignment appears to reflect a data entry or taxonomy mapping error rather than genuine procurement intent for the specified clinical procedure.
