UNSPSC 85582442: Drainage of uvula with drainage device, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of uvula 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 0C9NX0Z

UNSPSC 85582442 Drainage of uvula with drainage device, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure — drainage of the uvula using an external approach with a drainage device — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical care networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations do not concern uvula drainage procedures or related otolaryngological interventions.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include state health and transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). Geographic activity spans Washington, California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas, but the mismatch between the code's stated clinical scope and the actual work being bought — none of which involves uvula drainage — signals a classification error rather than genuine market activity in this Commodity category. Buyers pursuing state and local work under this code should verify whether the classification reflects their actual service line or whether a different UNSPSC code better captures the health services, staffing, or benefit management work their firm provides.
