This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right mandible 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 0N9T00Z

UNSPSC 85681420 Drainage of right mandible with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve mandibular surgical drainage or surgical procedures on specific anatomical sites. The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in how these opportunities are being classified or a data integrity issue in the state and local procurement system. State and local governments are not soliciting for this specific surgical service under this code at present.

The recent opportunities instead reveal demand for occupational health and safety medical services, benefits administration and management services, and temporary clinical staffing across multiple specialty categories. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county systems (Collier County Health Care Consortium, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Long Beach, Phoenix), and regional health authorities. Geographic concentration spans Washington, California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas, with activity posted between July and September 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services for public safety personnel ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code as currently defined warrants a vendor-code audit to determine whether the mismatch is systematic.
