UNSPSC 85581354: Drainage of pharynx with drainage device, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of pharynx with drainage device, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0C9M70Z

UNSPSC 85581354 Drainage of pharynx with drainage device, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical scope does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pension-board disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve pharyngeal drainage procedures or related ENT interventions. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, via Washington State Ferries), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board, Phoenix Police Pension Board). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity scope; the tagging appears to reflect a classification mismatch rather than active procurement of pharyngeal drainage services or devices.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, with no geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 total maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle). No active procurement demand for pharyngeal drainage services or devices appears in the source material.
