UNSPSC 85543142: Drainage of right neck lymphatic with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right neck lymphatic with drainage device, percutaneous 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 079130Z

UNSPSC 85543142 Drainage of right neck lymphatic with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical procedure description. The six recent opportunities sourced under this code — including independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — represent diverse health services administration and clinical staffing work that bears no connection to the specific lymphatic drainage procedure the code nominally describes. State and local buyers are acquiring administrative healthcare services, employee benefit programs, occupational health compliance support, and staffing solutions, not the specialized surgical procedure named in the code's taxonomy. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the underlying procurement records or assignment of a procedure-specific code to broader health services categories for administrative convenience.

Recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. Given the code's material divergence from the work actually being procured, firms pursuing state and local opportunities in health services administration, employee benefits, occupational health, and clinical staffing should verify the relevant UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies rather than rely on this code as a reliable category signal.
