This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left axillary lymphatic 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 079600Z

UNSPSC 85542965 Drainage of left axillary lymphatic with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted across state and local jurisdictions—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—solicit medical services, healthcare administration, pharmacy management, occupational surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which correspond to the specific surgical drainage procedure named in the code. The Phoenix and Long Beach opportunities concern disability medical evaluation and surgical benefit coordination, respectively; the WSDOT and Santa Clara solicitations target occupational medicine surveillance and temporary ancillary health staffing; Collier County solicits pharmacy benefit management; and Harris County posts an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth.

The code itself appears to tag surgical procedure outcomes or medical device placements rather than the kinds of goods or services state and local procurement offices typically commoditize through open competition. State and local governments do not publish RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs for specific surgical procedures on named patients, nor do they source axillary lymphatic drainage devices or related supplies through procurement portals in the manner these recent solicitations show. The disconnect suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment at the source jurisdiction, a misalignment between clinical terminology and procurement taxonomy in this corner of UNSPSC, or that the code is not actively used in state and local purchasing. Based on the evidence available, this code presents minimal business development opportunity for firms pursuing state and local contracts.
