UNSPSC 85695554: Drainage of right carpal with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right carpal 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 0P9M30Z

UNSPSC 85695554 Drainage of right carpal with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity among state and local procurement bodies. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted against it do not reflect procurement of that service. Instead, the issuing bodies have used the code to tag solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit administration, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These are administrative and clinical staffing services, not the drainage procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data classification error in the underlying system.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit RFP due October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System posted a temporary health professional staffing qualification solicitation due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026, and Collier County posted a pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026. Given the absence of opportunities actually soliciting drainage procedures or related orthopedic surgical supplies, this code warrants limited pursuit unless the issuing jurisdictions correct their coding practices.
