UNSPSC 85515556 Drainage of right popliteal artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the six recent opportunities posted under this code tag address independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the arterial drainage procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests the code was applied incorrectly to these solicitations or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not align with its specific procedural definition.

The issuing bodies span state agencies, county governments, and municipal entities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic spread includes Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RFP due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFP due October 7, 2026). Given the procedural specificity of the code's definition and the absence of relevant recent solicitations, this code does not appear to be an active procurement category for state and local buyers at present.
