UNSPSC 85771834: Removal of drainage device from right upper extremity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from right upper extremity, open 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 0XP600Z

UNSPSC 85771834 Removal of drainage device from right upper extremity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — extraction of a drainage catheter or tube from the upper arm using an open surgical technique — that is not a serviceable commodity or bundled service state and local governments typically procure through competitive solicitation. The recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical director services for a city fire department. None of these solicitations involve the removal of drainage devices from extremities, and the code assignment appears to be a classification error in the source data.

State and local procurement under UNSPSC codes in the 85000000 segment (Healthcare Services) typically covers managed care, employee health plans, emergency medical services, mental health support, and occupational health — all of which are present in the recent opportunities — but surgical procedures at the Commodity level are not ordinarily bought through state and local RFPs. The issuing bodies in the recent block include a county consolidated government (Georgia), a county board of county commissioners (two Florida counties), and a county behavioral health department (California). Given the classification mismatch, this code warrants skipping for business development purposes focused on actual state and local procurement activity.
