UNSPSC 85621363: Drainage of paraganglion extremity, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of paraganglion extremity, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0G9F4ZZ

UNSPSC 85621363 Drainage of paraganglion extremity, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the surgical procedure named in the taxonomy. The City of Phoenix is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical benefits carve-out program for its employee health plan; the Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is seeking emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve drainage of paraganglion tumors or endoscopic procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied to health plan administration, occupational health services, and workforce staffing opportunities rather than the surgical interventions the code nominally describes.

Given the mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the recent opportunities tagged under it, this code shows little relevant procurement activity for vendors offering paraganglion drainage or related surgical services. State and local buyers may occasionally tag health care or benefits opportunities with medical procedure codes in error; absent evidence of actual demand for the procedure itself in recent solicitations, the code warrants classification as inactive for surgical-services business development purposes.
