UNSPSC 85762141: Drainage of left pleural cavity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left 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 0W9B3ZZ

UNSPSC 85762141 Drainage of left pleural cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code's nominal medical procedure scope—a specific thoracic intervention performed by physicians—does not correspond to what state and local governments are currently buying.

Recent opportunities posted under or near this code reflect entirely different procurement categories: independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determination (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for youth detention facilities (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical roles (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve pleural drainage procedures or percutaneous thoracic intervention. The source shows no state or local government purchasing pleural drainage services as a discrete product or service line. This code appears to be a misclassification or administrative artifact; state and local procurement activity tagged under or near this code reflects broader healthcare administrative services, benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing rather than the specific procedure the code nominally describes.
