UNSPSC 85572317: Drainage of carina, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of carina, 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 0B923ZZ

UNSPSC 85572317 Drainage of carina, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure — percutaneous drainage of the carina — yet the six recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve carina drainage or percutaneous drainage procedures as a primary deliverable or even a secondary service component. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding at the point of solicitation posting or use of the code as a catch-all for medical and health services procurement without regard to the specific clinical procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across the six opportunities is broad: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 deadline); California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-outs due October 7, 2026, and County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026); Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026); Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026); and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, originally due April 9, 2026). Soliciting bodies include state transportation agencies, county health systems, county human resources divisions, city retirement offices, and county juvenile justice departments. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and all recent tagged opportunities, this code does not provide a reliable signal for pursuing state and local medical procurement in this category.
