UNSPSC 85581351: Drainage of pharynx, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of pharynx, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0C9M8ZZ

UNSPSC 85581351 Drainage of pharynx, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its medical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve endoscopic drainage of the pharynx or related procedural services. The mismatch suggests that state and local issuing bodies are either not procuring this specific procedure through open market solicitation, or have tagged opportunities to this code in error.

The six recent opportunities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington reflect state and county health-system procurement focused on administrative medical services, staffing, and benefit design rather than discrete clinical procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the closest alignment to medical examination and record management, but neither involves endoscopic intervention. Without evidence of genuine solicitation for pharyngeal drainage services under this code, the activity signal is absent.
