UNSPSC 85692450: Drainage of right scapula with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right scapula with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0P9540Z

UNSPSC 85692450 Drainage of right scapula with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with that clinical scope. The opportunities posted under this code over the past three months span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and general healthcare services contracting — none of which involve drainage procedures or scapular interventions. The issuing bodies include city pension boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments, reflecting a mix of municipal human resources functions, state occupational health programs, and county public health operations. The code designation appears to be a data-entry or classification error; the UNSPSC taxonomy is not currently in use by these jurisdictions to reflect the actual medical services being solicited.

Recent opportunities showing no substantive alignment with the code's nominal scope include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefits (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (deadline April 9, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the procurement activity actually tagged to it, this code does not represent a viable business development target for firms pursuing state and local healthcare or medical device contracts.
