This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left pleural 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 0W9B00Z

UNSPSC 85761942 Drainage of left pleural cavity with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — drainage of pleural effusion via an open surgical approach — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it do not solicit this procedure or related medical devices.

Recent opportunities posted under this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation Washington State Ferries, RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), independent medical evaluation and disability benefit determination services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach, HR26753, due October 7, 2026), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These solicitations represent administrative health services, benefit management, and staffing — not surgical procedure procurement or medical device supply. The misalignment between the code's surgical-procedure scope and the activities actually being bought suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is not a meaningful signal for state and local procurement business development.
