UNSPSC 85602943: Drainage of lesser omentum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of lesser omentum, open 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 0D9T0ZZ

UNSPSC 85602943 Drainage of lesser omentum, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical drainage work and instead reflect administrative health services procurement including disability medical record management, pharmacy benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing. The code appears to be misapplied in the state and local procurement system, as the opportunities solicited—independent medical evaluation coordination for pension boards, specialty carve-out network management for employee benefits, occupational health examinations for transportation workers, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing—do not correspond to the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies using this code span city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), and municipal benefits offices (City of Long Beach), reflecting a mix of administrative, operational, and human-resources-aligned health service contracting rather than surgical intervention procurement.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefit program management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance covering 14 ferry system locations statewide (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management ($8.7 million historical annual spend, initially due April 9, 2026 but extended), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread reflects activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the persistent mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited, this code should be treated as showing minimal relevant procurement activity in the state and local market.
