UNSPSC 85573440: Drainage of left lung with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left lung 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 0B9L00Z

UNSPSC 85573440 Drainage of left lung with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for pulmonary drainage; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare administrative and staffing services—medical record summarization, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve surgical drainage procedures or surgical implant devices. The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or repurposing of the code outside its intended healthcare commodity classification.

The issuing bodies are primarily county health systems and government employee benefits administrators: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (employee health benefits management), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medicine), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit administration), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 maximum over five years), Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for surgical benefit Center of Excellence programs, WSDOT's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations, and Santa Clara's October 7, 2026 qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing. The code shows no recent activity materially related to surgical drainage procedures or implant devices and warrants reclassification or exclusion from active procurement tracking in state and local markets.
