UNSPSC 85761940: Drainage of mediastinum with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of mediastinum 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 0W9C00Z

UNSPSC 85761940 Drainage of mediastinum with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity-tier code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities tagged or posted under related medical and health service codes involve independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical procedure carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations address the specific procedural intervention—mediastinal drainage with a device via open approach—that the code nominally describes.

The code appears to have been misapplied to general health service procurements rather than to clinical procedure codes. State and local health systems and public agencies do procure medical devices, surgical services, and clinical equipment, but those purchases are typically tagged to device-specific or service-family codes that reflect the actual scope of work. Without recent opportunities that match the mediastinal drainage procedure itself, the code presents no actionable procurement signal for business development targeting state and local government.
