UNSPSC 85573433: Drainage of left pleura, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left pleura, 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 0B9P0ZZ

UNSPSC 85573433 Drainage of left pleura, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect no relevant procurement activity aligned with that clinical scope. The opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are administrative or clinical-support services that do not represent procurement of drainage procedures or related surgical supplies. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these health services opportunities with a procedure-specific surgical code rather than with administrative health services or temporary staffing codes, creating a classification mismatch that obscures the actual commodities and services being bought.

The recent activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No pattern of repeat procurement activity under this code is evident, and the posting dates (July through September 2026) with response windows through October 2026 do not signal market concentration or sustained demand. The code shows little relevant recent activity and should not be relied upon as a signal of actual drainage-procedure procurement or related surgical-supply opportunities in state and local government contracting.
