This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of glomus jugulare with drainage device, 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 0G9C40Z

UNSPSC 85621368 Drainage of glomus jugulare with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this tag in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the glomus jugulare drainage procedure. The source shows a clear mismatch between the code's stated scope and the heterogeneous medical services and staffing operations that issuing bodies have tagged with this number in practice. This suggests the code is either being applied as a catch-all for health services procurement or reflects a classification error in the agencies' coding systems.

The recent opportunities span state departments, county governments, and special-purpose health districts across multiple states. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) solicited occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations with a due date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a due date of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures with a due date of October 7, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth with a due date of September 25, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with a due date of October 7, 2026; and Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members. Geographic activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington State, Florida, and Texas, with no clear pattern suggesting this code is appropriately applied to any single service line.
