UNSPSC 85542540: Drainage of spleen with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of spleen 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 079P00Z

UNSPSC 85542540 Drainage of spleen with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's clinical specification—a surgical drainage procedure for the spleen—does not align with any of the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The six posted solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing pools (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations procure the specific surgical procedure named in the code; the mismatch suggests either a data classification error or incidental tagging that does not reflect actual buying activity under this commodity.

State and local governments do not directly procure individual surgical procedures as commodity line items. The code appears misaligned with standard procurement practice, where health systems and counties manage surgical services through broader clinical service contracts, physician networks, or hospital provider agreements rather than through procedure-specific UNSPSC codes. Activity under this code warrants close scrutiny before pursuit; the recent opportunities present no clear path to service delivery matching the code's nominal scope.
