This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia with drainage device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85642030 Drainage of left lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities associated with this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferries workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare and benefits management services, not surgical drainage procedures. The code's medical-procedure nomenclature bears no relation to what state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' offices—a broad span of administrative and operational healthcare procurement.

Recent activity appears geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum over five years (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits with voluntary Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 state ferry locations with a two-year term and optional five one-year extensions (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). This code shows no coherent procurement signal relevant to surgical device or procedural drainage services; the mismatch suggests either a data-classification error or a systematic miscoding at the sourcing jurisdiction level.
