UNSPSC 85651928: Drainage of right thorax muscle with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right thorax muscle with drainage device, 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 0K9H30Z

UNSPSC 85651928 Drainage of right thorax muscle with drainage device, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a clear mismatch between the code's nominal medical-procedure scope and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities classified under this code do not involve thoracic surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve the drainage of thoracic muscle tissue or related surgical interventions. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly by state and local procurement offices, suggesting either a cataloging error in the source data or inconsistent tagging practices across jurisdictions.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), though the opportunities under this code do not represent a coherent procurement category. The most recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program (due October 7, 2026), and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code definition and the actual work being bought, this code does not provide a reliable foundation for business development targeting state and local procurement.
