This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 0B9K40Z

UNSPSC 85573869 Drainage of right lung with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that represents a narrow clinical procedure classification, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect actual purchases of this specific medical service. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit management through centers of excellence, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and surgery benefit coordination — none of which constitute drainage-of-right-lung procedures or align with the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or a categorical misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and state and local procurement practice for medical services. Activity under this code shows no concrete purchasing demand for the procedure named in the code itself.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city employee-benefit offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county human-resources and procurement divisions (Collier County). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, responses due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP RFP20260825, responses due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, responses due October 7, 2026). This code does not reflect active procurement for the clinical procedure it nominally describes and warrants reassessment of its assignment to state and local medical services contracting.
