UNSPSC 85513824 Drainage of middle colic artery with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its clinical procedure name and the actual state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve drainage procedures or percutaneous endoscopic approaches to the middle colic artery. The mismatch suggests either a data tagging error in the procurement sources or a systematic misclassification at the issuing jurisdiction level. The code does not reflect meaningful commercial activity in state and local government procurement as currently documented.

The issuing bodies represented in the recent opportunities include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county government human resources and pension offices (City of Phoenix, Collier County), municipal governments (City of Long Beach), and state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic distribution spans California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code as titled does not correspond to the work actually being procured.
