UNSPSC 85681824: Drainage of left lacrimal bone with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left lacrimal 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 0N9J30Z

UNSPSC 85681824 Drainage of left lacrimal bone with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity with a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the actual work being solicited. Recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency healthcare delivery for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve drainage procedures on the lacrimal bone. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal government human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington in the most recent postings, suggesting the code is being applied inconsistently across multiple jurisdictions to capture health services procurement more broadly.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State Ferries locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated medical procedure — the taxonomy mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or the code's use as a catch-all default for public-sector health services procurement where more precise Commodity or Class codes are unavailable in the issuing body's procurement system.
