UNSPSC 85501722 Drainage of left subclavian artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a highly specific surgical procedure — and the actual work being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve the drainage procedure named in the code's definition. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this UNSPSC code as a catch-all for broader medical and healthcare benefit administration services rather than discrete surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies span a mix of municipal retirement boards, county health systems, state departments of transportation, and county probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, multiple-award qualification vehicle), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 members (RFP 25-8414, historically approximately $8.7 million annually, with local vendor preference and MBE consideration available). The code shows minimal relevant recent activity and procurement professionals should verify category alignment with customer agencies before pursuing work tagged under this classification.
