This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of pericardial cavity with drainage device, open 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 0W9D00Z

UNSPSC 85761938 Drainage of pericardial cavity with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the narrow clinical scope of the code's nominal description (a specific surgical procedure for pericardial drainage). The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by posting jurisdictions or use of this code as a catch-all for medical services outside its intended taxonomy tier.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no repeat buyers across the sample. Geographic distribution includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Recent opportunities with response dates include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool qualification solicitation (due October 7, 2026). The code's broad and inconsistent application across these solicitations indicates that tracking activity under this specific Commodity code offers limited business development signal; vendors pursuing state and local medical services contracts should monitor the relevant Family or Class codes instead to capture the full scope of actual buying activity.
