UNSPSC 85662346: Drainage of left hip tendon with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left hip 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 0L9K00Z

UNSPSC 85662346 Drainage of left hip 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 orthopedic surgical procedure—does not correspond to the work being solicited under this classification in recent opportunities. State and local health authorities, county human resources offices, and pension boards are instead using this code to tag solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These are administrative health services, network management, and clinical staffing functions rather than surgical procedures performed on individual patients. The issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, city retirement offices, county boards of commissioners, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments—a broad cross-section of public-sector health and personnel management agencies.

Geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for Independent Medical Evaluation Services due October 16, 2026, seeking disability medical record summarization and physician examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications under a $750,000 five-year contract; Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026; and County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code's misalignment with actual procurement suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy gap where administrative health services have been incorrectly tagged to a procedural-surgery classification.
