This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right femoral 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 049K30Z

UNSPSC 85515890 Drainage of right femoral artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect little alignment with that clinical scope. The opportunities instead center on occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, employee health benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the arterial drainage procedure the code name specifies. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and county human resources divisions, representing a broad cross-section of local health administration and benefit oversight rather than surgical service procurement.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners) — with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be a mislabeled catch-all for state and local health services procurement rather than a meaningful taxonomy match to the surgical procedure it names.
