UNSPSC 85542520: Removal of drainage device from spleen, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from spleen, 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 07PP00Z

UNSPSC 85542520 Removal of drainage device from spleen, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve splenic drainage device removal. This appears to be a data-classification mismatch in which state and local procurement systems have applied an inappropriate medical procedure code to health services contracts that do not correspond to the code's clinical scope.

The source contains no recent state and local opportunities that actually solicit removal of drainage devices from the spleen or services narrowly aligned with that procedure. The opportunities instead reflect healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, staffing augmentation, and benefit plan management across multiple jurisdictions including Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County (California). Bidders should not pursue this code based on the recent record; the mismatch between code definition and posting practice suggests either a systematic classification error or that this particular surgical procedure is not actively procured through state and local channels at present.
