This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left axilla with drainage device, 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 0X9500Z

UNSPSC 85772242 Drainage of left axilla with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded in recent opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluation services, health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve drainage procedures or surgical intervention at the axilla. The mismatch suggests this code has been applied inconsistently or that the taxonomy entry itself does not reflect genuine state and local buying patterns in this category.

The opportunities do reveal fragmented demand across multiple issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — spanning cities, counties, state agencies, and regional health systems. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest, with Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas represented. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (75 annual disability evaluations, $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Puget Sound ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but little relevance to its stated scope.
