UNSPSC 85621164: Drainage of paraganglion extremity with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of paraganglion extremity 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 0G9F00Z

UNSPSC 85621164 Drainage of paraganglion extremity with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity based on recent opportunities tagged under it. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure for drainage of a paraganglion tumor in an extremity—bears no relationship to the six recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. Those solicitations request independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these procurements involve the specific surgical procedure the code describes. The mismatch indicates either systematic misclassification by the issuing bodies or a breakdown in code application within the source data set.

The issuing bodies represented are geographically and organizationally diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The opportunities span benefit administration, occupational health compliance, youth detention healthcare, and staffing—none of which map to paraganglion drainage surgery. Given the categorical mismatch, this code shows no actionable recent activity for vendors pursuing state and local surgical or medical device contracts aligned with its stated scope.
