UNSPSC 85471219 Drainage of medulla oblongata, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical-procedure title and the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, specialty medical staffing placement, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve neurological drainage procedures. State and local governments are not procuring the specific clinical procedure named in the code; instead, they are buying general medical administration, occupational health services, temporary clinical staffing, and pharmacy management through their health departments, counties, municipalities, and public authorities.

The geographic activity spans multiple states including Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and Texas (Harris County). Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, offering $750,000 over five years to review disability records and schedule physician examinations for public safety pension applicants; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, requiring a board-certified occupational medicine physician to conduct examinations across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program due October 7, 2026, managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. This code does not accurately reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under it.
