UNSPSC 85541132: Drainage of left inguinal lymphatic with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left inguinal lymphatic with drainage device, open 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 079J00Z

UNSPSC 85541132 Drainage of left inguinal lymphatic with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal designation describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local contract opportunities show no alignment with this clinical taxonomy. Instead, the code appears in the state and local procurement database tagged to administrative and occupational health services procurement — disability benefit medical record review, surgical benefit network management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either a data classification error or misapplication of the code to health services purchasing that falls outside the surgical drainage procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments soliciting under this code tag are seeking vendors to manage medical administration, benefits coordination, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing—not to perform or arrange inguinal lymphatic drainage procedures.

Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and county health care consortia. Recent opportunities posted from August through September 2026 include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach requesting surgical benefit carve-out program management (RFP, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI, due September 25, 2026), Collier County requesting pharmacy benefit management services (RFP, due April 9, 2026—posted August 20, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFQ, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration evident. The nominal code classification appears unreliable for business development targeting; verify actual scope alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
