UNSPSC 85602944: Drainage of lesser omentum with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of lesser omentum with drainage device, 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 0D9T00Z

UNSPSC 85602944 Drainage of lesser omentum with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's technical surgical procedure definition does not match the state and local procurement opportunities currently tagged to it, which center instead on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, and surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans.

The recent opportunities reflect health administration and employee benefits work rather than surgical drainage procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries solicited occupational medical surveillance services (baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, and asbestos team members across 14 ferry locations, proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services and disability medical record summary preparation for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications (proposals due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested a surgical carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (proposals due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical/operating room services (proposals due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's defined procedure and the actual work being procured suggests the code may be misapplied in these opportunities or that the taxonomy entry does not reflect current state and local buying patterns.
