UNSPSC 85693921: Drainage of left ulna, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left ulna, 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 0P9L3ZZ

UNSPSC 85693921 Drainage of left ulna, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant alignment with the code's clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC instead reflect procurement for independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve drainage procedures or percutaneous ulna interventions. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement records or a fundamental disconnect between the code's intended medical taxonomy and how state and local jurisdictions are using it in practice.

The issuing bodies spanning the recent opportunities include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners offices (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West, with postings from Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington; the opportunities range from administrative health services (medical records summarization) to operational clinical support (occupational medicine, specialty pharmacy networks) and staffing. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 across 14 ferry system locations, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (audiology, radiology, surgical services, and related ancillary categories) due October 7, 2026.
