This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from thoracic duct, external 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 07PKX0Z

UNSPSC 85541620 Removal of drainage device from thoracic duct, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with the state and local procurement activity posted against it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code represent medical services procurement — independent medical evaluations for disability benefits determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit management, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to the thoracic duct surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data classification error; the code does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement in its stated scope.

Geographic activity across the six opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant jurisdiction. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation and healthcare systems (Harris County, Santa Clara County), and county procurement offices (Collier County). The opportunities posted between July and September 2026 carry response dates from September 25 through October 16, 2026, with one opportunity (Collier County pharmacy services, RFP 25-8414) bearing an April 9, 2026 deadline that appears to reflect a historical record rather than current activity. Given the disconnect between the code's stated clinical scope and the categories of work actually being solicited, this code does not present a usable market signal for procurement professionals seeking thoracic duct or related surgical device removal services.
