This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right thorax tendon 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 0L9C30Z

UNSPSC 85661332 Drainage of right thorax tendon with drainage device, percutaneous 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 involving thoracic tendon drainage with a percutaneous device placement—does not match the medical and health services being solicited under this code in recent postings. State and local buyers tagged under this code are procuring occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency services for detained youth. These are administrative healthcare services, staffing placements, and managed-care operations, not procedural surgical supplies or surgical episode management. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting a diverse set of public employers and health systems rather than a concentrated buyer base.

Recent opportunities across this code show geographic spread in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking physician-led examinations across 14 ferry locations, the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool solicitation (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the administrative and staffing services actually being bought suggests either miscoding in the source data or a broad-scope tagging convention that does not reflect the true commodity or service category. Firms pursuing work in state and local healthcare administration, occupational medicine delivery, medical record review, or temporary staffing placement should verify code alignment with individual issuing bodies before bid preparation.
