UNSPSC 85772325: Drainage of left axilla, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left axilla, 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 0X953ZZ

UNSPSC 85772325 Drainage of left axilla, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, shows no alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical drainage procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical care coordination, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involves axillary drainage or percutaneous procedures. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county commissioners, and juvenile justice agencies, representing a diverse jurisdictional mix. However, the mismatch between code classification and actual procurement intent suggests either systematic miscoding or that the UNSPSC taxonomy does not capture the true nature of the work being solicited.

Recent opportunities include Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (closing October 16, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering ferry system workers across 14 Washington locations; City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence; Santa Clara County Health System's October 7, 2026 RFSQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (closing April 9, 2026). The code shows activity in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, but the disparity between the code name and the actual work being bought—none of which involves drainage procedures—makes this code unsuitable for business development targeting in surgical or procedural services.
