UNSPSC 85663748: Drainage of right lower arm and wrist tendon with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right lower arm and wrist tendon with drainage device, 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 0L9540Z

UNSPSC 85663748 (Drainage of right lower arm and wrist tendon with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, does not map to the work actually being procured by state and local governments in the recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgery carve-out program administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve drainage procedures or percutaneous endoscopic approaches to the lower arm or wrist. The mismatch indicates either a classification error in the tagging system or a data quality issue in how these opportunities were indexed.

The recent opportunities that carry this code reflect demand from state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach) for broad occupational health services, medical benefits administration, and temporary clinical staffing. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract value), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFP for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the categorical misalignment between the code's stated scope and the actual procurement activity, vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the accurate UNSPSC classification with the issuing body before committing resources to proposal development.
