UNSPSC 85522937: Drainage of upper vein with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of upper vein 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 059Y30Z

UNSPSC 85522937 Drainage of upper vein with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a material mismatch between its nominal medical-device scope and the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under it. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 center on occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve venous drainage procedures or percutaneous medical devices. The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems and procurement offices, and municipal retirement boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. This appears to be a data-tagging anomaly in which procurement offices have misapplied the code to broader health services contracting rather than specific procedural or device-focused work.

The most developed recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 ferry terminals; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services tied to public-safety disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical spending around $8.7 million annually (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). Unless the code is being deliberately used as a catch-all for health services procurement — an unusual practice — firms should verify the actual scope of work in any opportunity tagged to this code before allocating resources.
