UNSPSC 85764837: Drainage of upper jaw with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of upper jaw with drainage device, 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 0W9440Z

UNSPSC 85764837 Drainage of upper jaw with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent solicitations tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not involve drainage procedures, surgical device procurement, or related clinical supplies. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader health services and benefit administration activities — independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit programs through Centers of Excellence, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which directly correspond to the procedural drainage technique the code nominally names. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal health departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice and health systems, and regional health networks spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

The recent opportunities reveal that state and local procurement offices are using this code label inconsistently with its procedural definition, or the code itself may be misapplied in these jurisdictions' classification systems. Representatives include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFP for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnection between the code's procedure-specific definition and the scope of work actually being solicited, this code presents unclear procurement opportunity territory for firms seeking targeted alignment with specific state and local medical services or supplies activities.
