UNSPSC 85762142: Drainage of left pleural cavity with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left pleural 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 0W9B30Z

UNSPSC 85762142 Drainage of left pleural cavity with drainage device, 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 — percutaneous drainage of pleural cavity fluid — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical carve-out networks, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the procurement or provision of pleural drainage devices or percutaneous drainage procedures themselves.

The geographic spread of posted opportunities covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State across city, county, and state issuing bodies. The Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for disability benefits (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited a surgery benefit carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence networks for procedures including orthopedic and spine work (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing excluding clinical physicians (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code does not reflect active state and local procurement of the specific medical device or procedure it nominally describes; the UNSPSC classification appears misaligned with the actual work being bought.
