This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from head and neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external 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 0JPSX0Z

UNSPSC 85642509 Removal of drainage device from head and neck subcutaneous tissue and fascia, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical taxonomy label and the state and local contract opportunities actually posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code center on medical evaluation and occupational health services administration, not surgical drainage-device removal.

The code appears in procurement activity across multiple issuing-body types, including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county purchasing offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026) to conduct disability medical record summaries and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety retirement benefit applications, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations in Washington; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, and Washington, with additional Texas activity represented by Harris County. The mismatch between the code's surgical taxonomy and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited suggests this code may be misapplied by posting entities or carries minimal relevance for firms focused on procedural medical services.
