UNSPSC 85782927: Removal of drainage device from left lower extremity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from left lower 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 0YPB00Z

UNSPSC 85782927 Removal of drainage device from left lower extremity, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve drainage device removal or lower extremity surgery. State and local bodies are not currently soliciting under this code for orthopedic or surgical supplies or services matching its stated scope.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the work actually being bought suggests either a classification error in the source data or dormant procurement activity under this code. Recent opportunities in the broader medical services space include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services (RFP, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance (RFP, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing (RFP, due October 7, 2026) — but none involve surgical device procurement or lower-extremity procedures. Until opportunities appear that directly match the code's scope, the code warrants monitoring for activity rather than active pursuit.
