UNSPSC 85712556: Drainage of left shoulder joint with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left shoulder joint 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 0R9K30Z

UNSPSC 85712556 Drainage of left shoulder joint with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The source records instead capture a mix of health services procurement spanning disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, emergency youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which constitute the procedure named in the code itself. State and local issuers appear to have tagged these opportunities with an orthopedic or medical code that does not reflect the actual goods or services being bought. The mismatch suggests either coding error at the issuing-body level or database classification drift, and indicates that this Commodity code does not represent a live or active procurement category for state and local government at present.

The recent opportunities do show issuers across multiple jurisdictional types—city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county benefits administration (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara)—but none involve procurement of the orthopedic surgical procedure the code names. Absent a substantive body of recent opportunities correctly tagged to this code, business development professionals should treat this classification as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and monitor other orthopedic service or supply codes instead.
