UNSPSC 85541964: Drainage of thoracic duct with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of thoracic duct 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 079K40Z

UNSPSC 85541964 Drainage of thoracic duct with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a medical procedure—thoracic duct drainage—yet the six state and local opportunities posted under it between July and September 2026 solicit health insurance administration, medical staffing, occupational surveillance, disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, and surgical care coordination. None of these services involve thoracic duct drainage or percutaneous endoscopic approaches. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all classification for broad healthcare procurement rather than for the specific procedural intervention its name denotes.

The opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—and occur primarily in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the mismatch between code nomenclature and actual scope, state and local procurement professionals should treat this code as yielding limited relevant activity and rely on alternative taxonomy or keyword search to identify opportunities in occupational health services, benefits administration, and healthcare staffing.
