This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left rib with drainage device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85692052 Drainage of left rib with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal medical-procedure title does not align with the state and local contracting activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code show no purchases of the surgical procedure described in the code name. Instead, state and local governments are buying occupational medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and specialty hospital services for detained youth — none of which involves surgical drainage of a rib with a device.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code span state transportation departments, county pension boards, county health systems, county human resources agencies, and juvenile justice departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The geographic spread reflects scattered state and regional activity rather than concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFSQ (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure descriptor and the actual scope of work being procured — occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing — suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or a data-quality issue in how these opportunities were tagged. Firms evaluating activity under this code should verify the actual commodity scope with issuers before pursuing.
