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 0W9B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85761941 Drainage of left pleural cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The posted opportunities under this code do not reflect procurement of the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes; instead, they span institutional healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care delivery, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's surgical focus and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is either incorrectly tagged in state and local procurement systems or sees no genuine demand for the pleural drainage procedure itself at the state and local level.

The recent opportunities originate from a mix of county and municipal buyers across three states: the Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia issued an RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County in Florida solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County in Florida sought virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County in California issued an RFP for peer support services for peer workers funded at $580,000 over three years (due July 2, 2025), and the Santa Monica Fire Department in California requested a medical director for emergency medical services oversight (due October 16, 2025). The geographic spread spans California, Florida, and Georgia, with no dominant jurisdiction or repeat buyer pattern visible in the recent postings. Given the absence of opportunities that actually procure the pleural cavity drainage service this code names, pursuit under this code's nominal definition is not currently viable.
