UNSPSC 85582115: Drainage of tongue with drainage device, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of tongue with drainage device, external 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 0C97X0Z

UNSPSC 85582115 Drainage of tongue with drainage device, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The six recent opportunities posted since July 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve drainage procedures, tongue pathology, or the specific surgical intervention the code nominates. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the procurement system or that state and local agencies are using the code as a placeholder for broader healthcare service categories rather than the discrete procedure it names.

The issuers are geographically dispersed across the Southwest and Pacific regions (Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas) and span city retirement offices, county health authorities, state transportation departments, and county procurement divisions. A dossier focused on this code would serve business development professionals pursuing state and local healthcare contracting in miscellaneous service categories, but the code itself does not reliably flag the surgical or procedural opportunities a vendor targeting tongue-drainage work would seek.
