UNSPSC 85762343: Drainage of right pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 0W994ZZ

UNSPSC 85762343 Drainage of right pleural cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, state and local buyers have tagged retirement board medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve pleural drainage or endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement environment or that this code is not being used as intended for the narrow clinical procedure its name describes.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) issued a solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. This code does not appear to represent a coherent procurement category in the state and local market.
