UNSPSC 85762047: Removal of drainage device from mediastinum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from mediastinum, percutaneous 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 0WPC30Z

UNSPSC 85762047 Removal of drainage device from mediastinum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code actually procure occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations span human resources administration, public safety personnel benefits, occupational health compliance, and health system operations—none of which involve removal of mediastinal drainage devices. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and independent health systems.

Activity appears concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, and Texas over the past three months. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026). The code appears to carry significant taxonomic misalignment with the work actually being sourced, suggesting either systematic miscoding at the issuing-body level or that this commodity code does not reflect genuine state and local procurement demand for the specific procedure named.
