This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right inguinal lymphatic with drainage device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85541134, Drainage of right inguinal lymphatic with drainage device, open approach, is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged with this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and evaluation coordination, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve lymphatic drainage procedures or align with the code's technical scope.

The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical content and the actual buying activity suggests either systematic miscoding of health services procurements or erratic application of UNSPSC taxonomy to state and local health system contracts. The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), city pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county human resources divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county procurement offices. Geographic spread includes California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 (maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, and the Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFSQ due October 7, 2026. No recent opportunities under this code address the lymphatic drainage procedure the UNSPSC number nominally identifies.
