This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left thorax tendon 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 0L9D00Z

UNSPSC 85661236 Drainage of left thorax tendon with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the medical, health benefits, and staffing services state and local governments are actively soliciting. Recent opportunities under this code tag involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve thoracic surgical intervention or drainage procedures. The issuing bodies span a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), multiple counties (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), as well as specialized health systems, indicating broad jurisdictional reach but no concentration in any particular government type.

Geographic activity appears dispersed across California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas based on recent postings, with no clear regional concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's Request for Staffing Services for temporary health professionals across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code classification appears to reflect a data-tagging mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity; firms pursuing state and local opportunities in medical services, occupational health, benefits administration, or clinical staffing should verify that the code tier and scope align with specific solicitation requirements before investing in responses.
