UNSPSC 85672566: Drainage of left trunk 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 left trunk 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 0M9D00Z

UNSPSC 85672566 Drainage of left trunk bursa and ligament with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical and health services state and local governments are actually buying under this classification in current procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. These solicitations represent a substantial disconnect between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical drainage procedure—and the administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and occupational health programs that jurisdictions are actually procuring. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county human resources divisions, indicating that this code is being applied broadly to any health services or medical administration activity without precision to actual clinical procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summaries and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows active recent procurement volume but reflects a classification mismatch that blurs administrative healthcare contracting with clinical procedure terminology, limiting its utility as a procurement signal for vendors specializing in specific surgical or clinical service lines.
