UNSPSC 85704426: Drainage of left tibia with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left tibia 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 0Q9H40Z

UNSPSC 85704426 Drainage of left tibia with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on a particular anatomical site, but the recent opportunities posted under this code classify medical services and staffing solicitations — independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the orthopedic procedural scope the code nominally covers. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices have applied the code inconsistently or as a catch-all for health services, rather than to track actual surgical device or procedure procurement.

The issuers span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and county benefits administrators across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) is procuring independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 disability applications annually under a five-year contract with a maximum total compensation of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, RFP, due October 9, 2026) is requesting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, with a two-year initial term and up to five one-year extension options. The mismatch between the code descriptor and the actual solicitation scope means this code does not reliably signal opportunity for vendors pursuing work in the orthopedic or surgical device space.
