UNSPSC 85642270: Removal of drainage device from upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous 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 0JPV30Z

UNSPSC 85642270 Removal of drainage device from upper extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that captures a narrow surgical procedure classification, but state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect actual purchases of drainage-device removal services. Instead, recent opportunities filed under this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a specific upper-extremity surgical intervention. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and regional health systems, including the Washington State Department of Transportation, Collier County, the City of Phoenix, the City of Long Beach, Harris County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of health-services procurements or that this Commodity code is being applied as a catch-all for medical-services categories outside narrower surgical procedure codes.

Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (RFP), covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry employees across 14 Washington locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, seeking disability benefit medical record summaries and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications with a $750,000 five-year contract value; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award staffing pool for temporary ancillary health professionals due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity centers on California, Washington, Arizona, and Florida. The code shows limited recent activity aligned to its nominal surgical scope, making pursuit dependent on whether your firm specializes in medical-service procurement miscoding patterns or can position itself for broader health-services opportunities that state and local offices are incorrectly tagging at this level.
