UNSPSC 85573642: Drainage of right lung with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right lung 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 0B9K30Z

UNSPSC 85573642 Drainage of right lung with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve thoracic drainage procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this UNSPSC code has been reused as a catch-all bucket for health care procurement outside its nominal commodity scope.

The recent activity does reveal a diverse mix of issuing bodies — city retirement offices, municipalities, state transportation departments, county probation agencies, county commissioners, and county health systems — pursuing health care and health benefits administration services across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management due October 7, 2026; Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with a historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million; and Santa Clara County Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. No single issuing body repeats across multiple recent opportunities under this code, and the geographic and functional scatter offers no pattern to guide vendor strategy.
