UNSPSC 85816404: Irrigation of skin and mucous membranes using irrigating substance, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to irrigation of skin and mucous membranes using irrigating substance, percutaneous approach. This administrative 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 3E1038Z

UNSPSC 85816404 Irrigation of skin and mucous membranes using irrigating substance, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical taxonomy designation and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in this code record are predominantly administrative health services, occupational surveillance, specialty medical networks, and pharmacy benefit management—none of which involve skin or mucous membrane irrigation procedures or their supplies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical Centers of Excellence networks (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026).

The issuing bodies reflect a cross-section of state departments, county health systems and administration offices, and municipal procurement—but the work being sourced bears no operational relationship to the code's clinical scope. The geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration pattern relevant to irrigation supplies or services. Given that none of the recent opportunities involve irrigation products, devices, or clinical irrigation procedures, this code appears to carry a taxonomy misclassification in the state and local opportunities database. Firms pursuing procurement in occupational medicine, specialty care networks, pharmacy administration, or temporary health professional staffing should not use this code as a filtering mechanism.
