UNSPSC 85672563: Drainage of right thorax bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right thorax bursa and ligament, 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 0M9F0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672563 Drainage of right thorax bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in state and local markets. Recent opportunities posted under this code include disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing placements across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve thoracic surgical intervention, and the code appears to be a classification mismatch rather than a reflection of genuine procurement demand in the category's stated scope.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services for municipal employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement signal and warrants close attention to the actual scope of work being bought before pursuit decisions are made.
