This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left upper leg 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 0J9M00Z

UNSPSC 85642022 Drainage of left upper leg subcutaneous tissue and fascia with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which correspond to the subcutaneous drainage procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests either a data tagging error or an exceptionally broad interpretation of the code that does not reflect actual purchasing patterns.

The recent opportunities do reflect genuine state and local healthcare procurement activity across multiple jurisdictions. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach sought surgical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending, with proposals due April 9, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. These opportunities span Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, and originate from state agencies, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county procurement divisions. However, because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, the code appears inactive for its stated commodity and should not be relied upon for procurement planning under the subcutaneous drainage procedure category.
