UNSPSC 85695456: Drainage of right carpal with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right carpal 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 0P9M00Z

UNSPSC 85695456 Drainage of right carpal 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 surgical procedure, but the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 do not align with this scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System issued solicitations tagged under this code, yet none procure surgical drainage procedures. Instead, the opportunities reflect medical staffing, employee health benefits administration, occupational surveillance, and pharmacy benefit management — categories that sit outside the narrow surgical-procedure definition the code nominally represents.

The geographic spread spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (state-level), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but the mismatch between code label and actual procurement scope suggests either systematic miscoding or a taxonomy classification error in the state and local posting systems. The substantial recent activity—ranging from independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 maximum over five years for Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry terminals, specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management for approximately 2,400 county employees (Collier County), and multi-specialty temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara Health System)—indicates robust state and local demand for health administration and clinical staffing services. However, none of these opportunities involve orthopedic drainage procedures or operative clinical work of the kind the UNSPSC code describes. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify category alignment with issuing procurement offices before bid investment, as the current posting pattern suggests the code may not reliably filter relevant opportunities in state and local systems.
