UNSPSC 85612463: Drainage of liver with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of liver 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 0F9000Z

UNSPSC 85612463 Drainage of liver with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little or no connection to the code's medical scope. The five most recent opportunities tagged with this code instead cover inmate healthcare services procurement (Columbus Consolidated Government), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), virtual primary care and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department). None of these solicitations involve drainage devices, hepatic procedures, or the surgical interventions the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a data tagging error in the procurement systems or a significant divergence between the code's technical definition and how state and local jurisdictions are applying it in practice.

The geographic spread across these opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with issuing bodies including county boards of commissioners, consolidated city/county governments, county health departments, and municipal fire departments. Without meaningful alignment between the code's descriptor and the actual work being solicited, the code presents limited utility for business development targeting surgical device or hepatic procedure opportunities at the state and local level. Firms pursuing healthcare contracting with state and local agencies should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before responding, as this code's recent activity does not reflect its stated commodity.
