UNSPSC 85523027: Removal of drainage device from upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from upper vein, 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 05PY40Z

UNSPSC 85523027 Removal of drainage device from upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation services, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical networks — none of which involve the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. State and local purchasing offices appear to use this code as a catch-all for health and medical services procurement rather than as a specific clinical procedure line item. The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county commissioners, and county juvenile probation departments, reflecting the code's deployment across diverse municipal and county health administration functions.

Recent activity shows no procurement focused on the actual clinical service named in the code. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum and proposals due October 16, 2026; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with an implementation deadline of December 20, 2025; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties with proposals due October 7, 2026. This code shows limited decision relevance for firms targeting procedural medical services in state and local procurement.
