UNSPSC 85692051: Drainage of left rib, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left rib, 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 0P920ZZ

UNSPSC 85692051 Drainage of left rib, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical services or clinical procedure procurement. Instead, the opportunities span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which correspond to thoracic surgical drainage or the procedural medical services the code name implies. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code to opportunities that involve healthcare delivery and medical administration more broadly, suggesting a classification mismatch rather than genuine demand for the specific drainage procedure named in the code.

The issuing bodies include a county consolidated government (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida and Monroe County, Florida), a county health and behavioral services department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department, California). The geographic spread spans Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code's recent activity does not reflect genuine procurement of the surgical procedure it nominally describes; practitioners should verify code alignment with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
