UNSPSC 85641020: Removal of drainage device from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, 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 0JPTX0Z

UNSPSC 85641020 Removal of drainage device from trunk subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal direct alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving the removal of subcutaneous drainage devices; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not center on that clinical service line. Instead, the solicitations reflect health administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve drainage-device removal procedures. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent code assignment in state and local procurement systems or that the code's intended scope has diverged substantially from what issuing bodies are actually buying. The recent opportunities span municipal retirement systems, county health departments, state transportation agencies, and regional health systems as issuing bodies.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefits and Centers of Excellence networks for employee PPO plans (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across ferry system locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the content of recently posted opportunities, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors focused on surgical drainage-device procedures or related clinical products.
