UNSPSC 85482305 Drainage of thoracic nerve with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's abstract medical procedure descriptor does not map to any of the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under it in the source material. Those solicitations instead cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve thoracic nerve drainage procedures or surgical interventions at the procedural level the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all for health-services contracting without regard to the specific procedure named.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems across multiple states: the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' request for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management with two-year initial term and three one-year renewal options (due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals statewide (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31). Geographic activity concentrates in the West (Washington, Arizona, California) and Texas, with Florida also represented. The code's tagging does not reflect coherent procurement demand under its stated scope.
