UNSPSC 85621163: Drainage of paraganglion extremity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of paraganglion extremity, 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 0G9F0ZZ

UNSPSC 85621163 Drainage of paraganglion extremity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve drainage of paraganglion extremity procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error at the source or inconsistent application of this code to broader health services categories by state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities reflect a mix of issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health authorities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single state or jurisdiction showing concentrated activity under this code. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) valued at up to $750,000 over five years, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and what jurisdictions are actually purchasing, this code warrants verification before pursuing opportunities; the activities being bought are real but the UNSPSC classification does not appear reliable for predicting future solicitation patterns.
