UNSPSC 85652840: Drainage of left upper leg muscle with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left upper leg muscle with drainage device, 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 0K9R00Z

UNSPSC 85652840 (Drainage of left upper leg muscle with drainage device, open approach), a Commodity code, shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities associated with this code do not involve surgical drainage procedures or orthopedic interventions; instead, they encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services align with the specific clinical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies range across state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems (Santa Clara Health System). The scope of work actually being solicited includes comprehensive occupational health examinations for ferry workers, medical record review and disability determination support for pension boards, PBM administration covering claims processing and specialty drug management, clinical staffing placement in ancillary specialties, and Centers of Excellence networks for employee surgical benefits.

The recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office soliciting disability medical record summary and examination scheduling services with proposals due October 16, 2026 at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001); the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052); Collier County issuing an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414); and the City of Long Beach soliciting a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027 (HR26753). The code appears to be systematically mis-tagged in the procurement system; vendors should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities listed under this number.
