UNSPSC 85523039: Drainage of upper vein with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of upper vein 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 059Y40Z

UNSPSC 85523039 Drainage of upper vein with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure involving upper vein drainage performed percutaneously with endoscopy — does not align with the actual work state and local bodies are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve the procedural intervention the code describes. The issuing bodies span diverse state and local jurisdictions — city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal government (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County, Santa Clara County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County) — but their use of this code appears taxonomic misclassification rather than genuine procurement intent for upper-vein drainage procedures.

Geographic activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington (statewide ferry operations), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), though the dispersion reflects the procedural code's broad misapplication rather than concentrated demand. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations with a five-year, $750,000 maximum contract commencing February 3, 2027 and proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The consistent mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope suggests this Commodity code warrants investigation for potential reclassification or that opportunities are being miscoded at the source.
