UNSPSC 85621378: Drainage of left carotid body with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left carotid body 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 0G9640Z

UNSPSC 85621378 "Drainage of left carotid body with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's description refers to a specific surgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the named surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests that either this code was applied incorrectly to the opportunities in the source dataset or the code is being used by procurement systems to tag broadly medical services where the medical taxonomy misaligns with actual purchasing need.

Recent activity shows municipal governments, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities soliciting medical services across multiple states. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County requested pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, with approximately $8.7 million annual historical spending); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no cohesive procurement signal and does not serve as a useful filtering criterion for business development in state and local markets.
