UNSPSC 85764836: Drainage of upper jaw, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of upper jaw, 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 0W944ZZ

UNSPSC 85764836 Drainage of upper jaw, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical designation — a specific surgical procedure performed on the upper jaw — does not match the scope of the six most recent opportunities posted under this code in the state and local procurement market.

The recent opportunities instead reflect administrative, occupational health, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary staffing services unrelated to the procedure named in the code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualified vendors for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. This code shows little relevant recent activity and suggests a persistent misclassification between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the actual work state and local agencies are purchasing under it.
