UNSPSC 85681803: Drainage of left mandible, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left mandible, percutaneous 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 0N9V3ZZ

UNSPSC 85681803, Drainage of left mandible, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical description does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code show no drainage procedures or surgical interventions matching the code's stated scope; instead, issuing bodies have tagged health services procurement ranging from occupational medical surveillance and pension disability evaluations to pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing pools, and surgical procedure carve-outs for municipal health plans. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a data classification error in the underlying taxonomy assignment, making the code an unreliable signal for firms pursuing work related to the code's clinical name.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), with issuing bodies across municipal, county, state agency, and health system procurement functions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (response due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members (response due April 9, 2026). The code shows active procurement across health administration, occupational medicine, and employee benefits management, but the absence of any drainage or oral surgical procedures in recent solicitations indicates that UNSPSC 85681803 should not be relied upon as a targeting mechanism for firms offering mandibular drainage services to state and local buyers.
