UNSPSC 85773146: Drainage of left wrist region with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left wrist region 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 0X9H00Z

UNSPSC 85773146, Drainage of left wrist region with drainage device, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this taxonomy tag. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefits carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve wrist drainage procedures or operative orthopedic interventions. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the scope of solicited services suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or an artifact of how medical service taxonomy is applied in practice. State and local issuing bodies — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System — are using this code to classify administrative health services, occupational medicine, and benefit management, not surgical procedures.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension benefit applications across a five-year, $750,000 contract; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations with examinations for four personnel categories (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with award anticipated by November 30, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification-vehicle solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, Washington State, California, and Florida, with isolated activity in Texas. The code shows no concentration among repeat buyers; each issuing body appears once in the recent record. Given the consistent mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope, firms pursuing medical administration and occupational health services should verify code alignment with issuing bodies before bid strategy, as the taxonomy does not serve as a reliable guide to work content.
