This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right external iliac 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 049H40Z

UNSPSC 85513808 Drainage of right external iliac artery with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which correspond to the vascular surgical intervention the code name specifies. State and local governments are not soliciting for drainage procedures or related interventional vascular services under this code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health-related services without precision in the taxonomy application.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources and health consortiums (Collier County, Santa Clara County), reflecting fragmented procurement activity across health administration, occupational medicine, and specialty staffing. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026, with a historical pharmacy spend of approximately $8.7 million annually). Given the lack of true commodity alignment, this code does not present a reliable pipeline for business development focused on the vascular surgical procedure it nominally describes.
