UNSPSC 85671138: Drainage of perineum bursa and ligament with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of perineum bursa and ligament 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 0M9K00Z

UNSPSC 85671138, Drainage of perineum bursa and ligament with drainage device, open approach (Commodity), does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve the specific surgical drainage procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of medical-services solicitations or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical scope and state and local procurement activity. The issuing bodies are mixed: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (via Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System, spanning city and county government, state transportation agencies, and public health systems.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest — Washington State, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Arizona (Phoenix), and Texas (Harris County) — with one Florida jurisdiction (Collier County). The most recent representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary preparation and independent medical evaluation services covering approximately 75 annual benefit applications (due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). These opportunities confirm that state and local government is actively procuring medical services, but the code itself does not accurately capture or frame this purchasing activity.
