UNSPSC 85573867: Drainage of left lung with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left lung with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0B9L40Z

UNSPSC 85573867 "Drainage of left lung with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under this classification do not reflect procurement of that procedure or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and inpatient specialty care coordination — activities that fall outside the procedural scope the code name suggests. State and local health systems, counties, cities, and transit authorities are using this code to classify general healthcare service contracting, not procurement of a defined surgical intervention.

Recent activity includes the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with approximately 75 annual applications (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026 for a maximum $750,000 five-year contract), Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (RFP 25-8414, with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026 now passed), the City of Long Beach requesting a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing a request for information on emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). The code shows activity across California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but lacks the focus and consistency that would indicate a mature procurement market for the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether their service or product actually aligns with the surgical drainage procedure definition or whether they compete in the broader healthcare administration and staffing categories currently tagged under it.
