UNSPSC 85513836 Drainage of gastric artery with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The six most-recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve gastroenterological procedures or percutaneous endoscopic drainage services. Instead, they span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The code mismatch suggests this Commodity is either rarely used in state and local procurement or is systematically misapplied by issuing bodies at the point of solicitation entry.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration evident. Issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office, a city health plan administrator, a state transportation department, a county juvenile probation department, a county board of commissioners, and a regional health system. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities align with the code's stated procedure descriptor, indicating that vendors pursuing state and local medical-services contracts should verify code accuracy in each RFP or RFQ before proposing under this commodity.
