UNSPSC 85692248: Drainage of left scapula with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left scapula 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 0P9630Z

UNSPSC 85692248 Drainage of left scapula with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are not aligned with the code's medical procedure nomenclature; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve drainage of the scapula or percutaneous device placement as described in the code's title.

Given the mismatch between the code's specificity—a single orthopedic surgical procedure—and the diverse healthcare administration and staffing services appearing in recent postings, this code does not appear to be actively used by state and local procurement offices for its intended purpose. The opportunities from the Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Phoenix, County of Santa Clara, Collier County, City of Long Beach, and Harris County involve health benefit management, occupational health compliance, temporary staffing qualification pools, and detention healthcare coordination rather than surgical drainage procedures. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local agencies are purchasing orthopedic surgical services under a different UNSPSC classification or whether this particular procedure code is rarely or never solicited in the state and local market.
