UNSPSC 85663546: Drainage of left shoulder tendon with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left shoulder 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 0L9230Z

UNSPSC 85663546 Drainage of left shoulder tendon with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the procedure nomenclature. The opportunities instead reflect general medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and clinical staffing services—none of which involve the orthopedic drainage procedure the code nominally describes. This suggests either a tagging error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not match the code's clinical scope.

The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large cities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (County of Santa Clara), and county benefits administration (Collier County). Recent solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work being procured, this code warrants close review before pursuit; if the tagging error is systemic, opportunities may migrate to more semantically appropriate codes.
