This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in right pleural cavity, external 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 0WW9X0Z

UNSPSC 85761724 Revision of drainage device in right pleural cavity, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — revision of a pleural drainage device — yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention emergency medical services. None of these solicitations involve revision of pleural drainage devices or comparable procedure-specific surgical work. The mismatch suggests either classification error in the tagging system or that this code is used as a catch-all placeholder for miscellaneous health services when more specific medical procedure codes do not apply.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span a county health system (Santa Clara), a state transportation department (Washington), a municipal retirement office (Phoenix), two cities with employee health benefit programs (Long Beach, Collier County), and a county juvenile probation department (Harris County). Geographic activity is dispersed across California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas, with no concentrated regional pattern. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 maximum over five years); Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing established as a five-year vendor pool with no guaranteed volume, due October 7, 2026. If your firm pursues this code, verify the actual work scope against the specific opportunity notice before investing in a proposal, as the code's nominal definition does not align with procurement activity currently tagged to it.
