UNSPSC 85631532: Drainage of left hand skin with drainage device, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left hand skin with drainage device, external 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 0H9GX0Z

UNSPSC 85631532 Drainage of left hand skin with drainage device, external approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal medical-procedure scope does not match the opportunities tagged under it, which instead cover occupational health surveillance, pension-disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention emergency services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve drainage procedures or are specific to left-hand dermatological intervention. The issuing bodies represent a mix of municipal retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, county judicial agencies, and municipal employee-benefits offices across multiple regions.

The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect broad occupational and municipal healthcare procurement rather than specialized surgical or dermatological services. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (occupational medicine baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for shipyard, engine, deck, and asbestos-team workers), with proposals due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (medical record summary and disability examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System), with proposals due October 16, 2026. The City of Long Beach and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department have also solicited medical services (surgical carve-outs and emergency youth detention healthcare respectively), as have Santa Clara County (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories) and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management). The code's assignment to these opportunities appears to be a tagging mismatch; no recent state or local procurement activity under this code involves drainage procedures or the specific clinical intervention the Commodity name describes.
