This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from upper artery, external approach.

UNSPSC 85503514 Removal of drainage device from upper artery, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure typically performed in hospital or clinical settings, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect comprehensive healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care services, peer support programs, and medical director oversight — none of which involve drainage device removal or vascular intervention. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or category misuse by issuing bodies, rather than active market demand for the surgical procedure itself under this code.

The five most recent opportunities span four states and issuing bodies. Columbus Consolidated Government's Muscogee County Prison (Georgia) posted an RFP due May 15, 2026, for inmate medical and pharmacy services covering 576 offenders, requiring five years of experience in comparable facilities and NCCHC accreditation. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP due April 9, 2026, for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with an estimated annual pharmacy spend of $8.7 million. Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP due April 16, 2026, for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members. San Mateo County Health's Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California) posted an RFP due July 2, 2025, for a peer support pilot project with $580,000 in total funding. Santa Monica Fire Department (California) posted an RFP due October 16, 2025, for a medical director to oversee EMS programs handling 18,000 annual calls. Given the categorical mismatch, this code does not present a reliable signal for business development targeting state and local procurement in surgical procedures or vascular intervention.
