UNSPSC 85642016: Drainage of right foot 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 right foot 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 0J9Q00Z

UNSPSC 85642016 Drainage of right foot subcutaneous tissue and fascia with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure classification; however, recent state and local contract opportunities show no procurement activity directly aligned with this clinical procedure code. The solicitations posted under this code actually span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which constitute the procedural drainage service the code nominally describes. This indicates either a classification mismatch in state and local procurement systems or category misuse; the code does not reflect actual state and local purchasing activity for the surgical procedure it names.

The mismatch between code classification and actual solicitations suggests business development professionals should not rely on this code for identifying relevant opportunities. The recent opportunities appearing under UNSPSC 85642016 span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP, deadline April 9, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency medical services RFI, due September 25, 2026)—but these represent administrative health services and staffing procurement, not surgical procedures. Practitioners should confirm code alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification or escalate the mismatch to the issuing procurement office.
