UNSPSC 85692056: Drainage of sternum with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of sternum with drainage device, 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 0P9000Z

UNSPSC 85692056 Drainage of sternum with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities tagged to it are requesting independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve sternum drainage or surgical device placement. The mismatch suggests the code was applied incorrectly to these opportunities, and the category does not capture meaningful purchasing activity in state and local government at the Commodity level.

No state and local opportunities currently soliciting sternum drainage procedures or related surgical devices appear in the available record. The issuing bodies and geographic coverage reflected in the recent opportunities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office in Arizona; the City of Long Beach in California; the Washington State Department of Transportation; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas; Collier County in Florida; and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California — are pursuing healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits services, not surgical interventions. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is the correct taxonomy marker for sternum drainage procurement before investing time in pursuit.
