UNSPSC 85762341: Drainage of left pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0W9B4ZZ

UNSPSC 85762341 Drainage of left pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the services actually being solicited under this classification by state and local governments. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention health services, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these represent the procedural intervention the code name describes.

The issuing bodies are geographically and functionally diverse: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit administration), Collier County and Harris County (county-level health procurement), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026) and the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years). The code's recent activity reflects administrative health services, benefit management, and staffing procurement rather than clinical procedure delivery, suggesting either tagging error or an outdated code assignment for health services that do not involve the specific procedure named.
