This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from pericardial 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 0WPDX0Z

UNSPSC 85761738 Removal of drainage device from pericardial cavity, external approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a fundamental mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve pericardial drainage procedures or surgical interventions; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and specialty surgical procedure coordination through Centers of Excellence. The code's abstract title suggests a discrete surgical procedure, yet the six recent state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 consistently reflect administrative, operational, and non-acute medical service functions. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. This pattern indicates the code does not reliably map to pericardial surgery or related cardiac interventions and should be considered inactive for its stated clinical purpose within state and local procurement.

Geographic spread across recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (WSDOT). The Washington State Department of Transportation is conducting a competitive RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and an apparent successful bidder announcement scheduled for October 20, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract and proposals due October 16, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. No pericardial or cardiac surgical work appears in any recent posting under this code.
