UNSPSC 85681820: Drainage of left palatine bone with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left palatine bone with drainage device, 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 0N9L30Z

UNSPSC 85681820 (Drainage of left palatine bone with drainage device, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a highly specific surgical procedure that does not align with what state and local governments actually buy. Recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve drainage procedures or bone-level surgical interventions. The misalignment suggests the code was incorrectly applied to opportunities in the procurement system rather than reflecting genuine demand for the procedural service the code nominally describes.

State and local buyers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington are currently soliciting medical administration, staffing, and benefit management services at scale. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) exemplify the actual scope of work jurisdictions are procuring — medical record management, examination scheduling, and provider coordination for employee and beneficiary populations. Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (258414) targets $8.7 million in annual spending. The County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes a multi-year vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical specialties. This code does not appear to serve genuine state and local procurement demand and warrants reclassification or removal from active sourcing efforts.
