This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right elbow region 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 0X9B30Z

UNSPSC 85771414 Drainage of right elbow region with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical drainage procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. State and local agencies posting in this code space are actually soliciting broad healthcare service contracts: independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations involve no procurement of the specific elbow drainage procedure named in the code, and the mismatch between the code's technical definition and the work actually being bought suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local healthcare contracting is structured.

The recent opportunities originate from a mix of issuing bodies—city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health benefits programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county detention systems (Harris County), county health consortiums (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant concentration. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferries system locations (due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with 40 percent weight on price), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award pool with no guaranteed volume). The code as currently deployed does not represent a coherent procurement category for business development planning.
