This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of pericardial cavity with drainage device, 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 0W9D30Z

UNSPSC 85762138 Drainage of pericardial cavity with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under it. The recent solicitations capture independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferries workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve pericardial drainage procedures or invasive cardiothoracic interventions. The code appears to have been applied to opportunities in medical administration, occupational health, and employee benefits management rather than to the specific clinical procedure its name describes.

The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources and health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health authorities. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's application to these opportunities suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement systems or a systematic misalignment between the nominal code definition and the work state and local agencies are actually tagging under it. Prospective bidders should verify code relevance directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
