UNSPSC 85663112: Removal of drainage device from lower tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from lower tendon, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0LPY40Z

UNSPSC 85663112 Removal of drainage device from lower tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities are administrative and occupational health services — disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, detention youth healthcare coordination, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve the removal of drainage devices or surgical procedures. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical focus and the opportunities posted under it suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this UNSPSC Commodity is rarely used. State and local buyers posting these opportunities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are procuring administrative, staffing, and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Unless your firm specializes in drainage-device removal procedures and holds the clinical and regulatory credentials to serve as a subcontractor to these health-system purchasers, this code does not represent a viable near-term pursuit.
