UNSPSC 85762057: Removal of drainage device from right pleural cavity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from right pleural cavity, 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 0WP930Z

UNSPSC 85762057 Removal of drainage device from right pleural cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves pleural drainage device removal or procedure-specific clinical interventions. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or in error across these diverse health services procurements, creating a mismatch between the nominal UNSPSC scope and the actual services being bought.

Recent activity originates from state health departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices rather than clinical providers. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for comprehensive disability medical record summary and independent medical examination services supporting public safety pension determinations; the County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and surgical support; and the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. Geographic activity centers on California, Arizona, and Washington, with additional interest from Florida (Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP) and Texas (Harris County's RFI for emergency and specialty services for youth in custody). The code shows little relevant recent activity and the disconnect between its stated scope and actual procurement suggests that vendors should verify code assignment during opportunity evaluation rather than rely on this classification to identify valid work.
