UNSPSC 85681822: Drainage of right palatine bone with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 0N9K30Z

UNSPSC 85681822 Drainage of right palatine bone with drainage device, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure code and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical drainage intervention, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it center on medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and health professional staffing—none of which involve palatine bone procedures or drainage devices. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) are all administrative or generalist health-services procurements rather than orthopedic or ENT surgical offerings. The City of Long Beach's surgical benefits carve-out (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) does encompass knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, and spine procedures, but excludes bone-drainage work and operates as a Center of Excellence network for bundled procedures, not discrete surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and specialized district entities (Phoenix Retirement Office, Santa Clara Health System). Activity clusters in California, Arizona, and Washington, with secondary participation from Texas and Florida. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope; state and local buyers are not currently soliciting drainage device placements or related surgical supplies or services under this classification. A firm pursuing this code should treat it as inactive for state and local purposes and verify that opportunities genuinely requiring palatine bone intervention or otolaryngologic surgical devices are tagged under more appropriate UNSPSC classifications.
