UNSPSC 85651833: Drainage of right thorax muscle, 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 0K9H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85651833 Drainage of right thorax muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears in the database tagged to several medical services solicitations, but none of the recent opportunities actually procure thoracic drainage procedures. Instead, the tagged opportunities seek independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The disconnect suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation or a data classification error; the code does not appear to reflect actual state and local buying practice in recent months.

No recent opportunities under this code solicit thoracic drainage or related surgical procedures. The state and local jurisdictions posting opportunities tagged to this code—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are addressing administrative health services, staffing, benefits administration, and medical surveillance rather than surgical supply or procedural services. Given the absence of relevant recent activity and the clear mismatch between code scope and actual procurement patterns, pursuit under this code is not warranted at this time.
