UNSPSC 85641320: Drainage of chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia with drainage device, open 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 0J9600Z

UNSPSC 85641320 Drainage of chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve drainage procedures or surgical interventions; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out networks, health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to administrative and health plan management solicitations rather than to the specific surgical procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent pipeline include city pension boards (City of Phoenix), county health systems and benefits programs (Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city employee health plans (City of Long Beach), and county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration evident from the limited recent sample. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026). Given the absence of surgical drainage procedure solicitations in the recent pipeline, this code warrants review for potential data-entry or taxonomy-assignment errors before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
